How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a shackling error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt where the evidence was 27 weak
• holding that the trial court abused its discretion by requiring the defendant to remain in shackles in part because the court failed to make individualized determinations based on each defendant’s unique security risk
• holding that a shackling error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt where jurors saw the defendant “in handcuffs, a waist chain, and leg irons throughout [the] trial”
• holding that, even if an un-preserved video would have shown what the appellant claims it would have shown, it was not material because its exculpatory value was not apparent before it was lost
• when considering the harmlessness of a due process shackling violation, focusing only on the type of harm that the due process violation created
• correctional officer’s video of post-crime search lost
