How courts have described this case

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

  • “The habeas question of whether the state court decision is objectively unreasonable is layered on top of the underlying standard governing the constitutional right asserted.”
  • “Even on direct appeal, claims that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict are ‘often made, but rarely successful.’” (quoting United States v. Moran, 984 F.2d 1299, 1300 (1st Cir. 1993))
  • “[A]s a general rule, federal courts should be particularly cautious about issuing habeas, on grounds of the objective unreasonableness of a state court’s conclusion that the evidence is sufficient . . . .”
  • habeas court must consider whether state court’s decision is objectively unreasonable
  • “The ultimate question on habeas . . . is not how well reasoned the state court decision is, but whether the outcome is reasonable . . . . [E]ven a poorly reasoned state opinion does not mean that the outcome represents an unreasonable application.”
