How courts have described this case

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

• holding that biblical passages did not bear on facts at issue in the case and so were not “ex- traneous prejudicial information”
• holding \the physical presence and reading of the Bible in the jury room\ did not improperly influence the jury
• noting that the bailiff did not do “anything other than simply provide the Bible upon the juror’s request”
• finding that juror’s reading of the Bible did not require reversal of the conviction because “the Bible had no bearing on any fact relevant to sentencing, and was therefore not tantamount to ‘evidence’ that was used against him at sentencing.”
• discussing this distinction in juror misconduct jurisprudence in the context of juror’s use of the Bible during deliberations
• finding no clearly established law prohibiting a juror from relying on Bible not to garner any external fact or legal principle merely to reflect on his own conscience
