How courts have described this case

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

  • concluding that counsel’s decision not to call potential alibi witnesses was “legitimate trial strategy” because the “proposed testimony would have conflicted with [the defendant’s] own version of events”
  • ruling that defense counsel had not been ineffective in not calling alibi witnesses whose testimony would have conflicted with defendant's own version of events
  • holding that Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s “limited review” of petitioner’s claim under miscarriage-of-justice standard does not waive independent and adequate state ground applying contemporaneous objection requirement
  • concluding that because “[d]efense counsel did not object to conducting the individual voir dire in the anteroom” the claim was not preserved for a habeas petition
  • concluding that because “[d]efense counsel did not object to conducting the individual voir dire in the anteroom” the claim was not preserved for a habeas petition
  • noting that “[t]he SJC consistently enforces the rule that unpreserved claims are forfeited and enforced the rule in the instant case” (citations omitted)
