How courts have described this case

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

• noting that Supreme Court cases addressing the Eighth Amendment’s proportionality principle do not require that defendants convicted of the same crime in the same case receive similar sentences
• finding no prejudice in part because the defendant “made incriminating statements . . . which were admitted in evidence against him”
• describing an APD diagnosis as a “basket of cobras” before a jury, being potentially more harmful than helpful during the penalty phase (quoting Gerlaugh v. Stewart, 129 F.3d 1027, 1035 (9th Cir. 1997))
• “There is no clearly established federal law requiring intra-case proportionality 9 review.”
