How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the bias of witnesses receiving immunity from the prosecution and benefits in exchange for testifying contributed to error that was not harmless
• concluding that an error was not harmless when much of the properly admitted inculpatory testimony came from witnesses who “had reasons to implicate Eddleman other than a commitment to telling the truth”
• “AEDPA replaced the Brecht standard with the standard of Chapman plus AEDPA deference when . . . a state court made a harmless- error determination.”
• “Like the defendant in Fulminante, Eddleman gave a full confession, including both a direct admission of guilt and detailed information about the crime . . . .”
