How courts have described this case

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

• holding that petitioner’s appellate argument that the introduction of certain evidence “deprived him of fair trial [sic] and due process of law” was insufficient to “put the state courts on notice” of a federal constitutional claim
• requiring total exhaustion before consideration of any claim presented in federal habeas petition
• habeas petitioner did not alert state courts to double jeopardy claim by contending that introduction of certain evidence “deprived him of fair trial [sic] and due process of law” (citations omitted)
• “[T]o satisfy the exhaustion requirement, a prisoner must have ‘fairly presented’ the same legal claim to the state courts that he presents in his federal habeas petition”
• “It is not necessary for a habeas petitioner to cite ‘book and verse’ of the Constitution,” in order to put state court on notice that they are to decide federal constitutional claims
