Paul Green v. Theo White, Warden

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 juror’s “pattern of lies, inappropriate behavior, and attempts to cover up his behavior introduced ‘destructive uncertainties’ into the fact-finding process, and, under Dyer, we must presume bias under these circumstances”
• holding that a juror was impliedly biased where he “lied twice to get a seat on the jury,” provided misleading, contradictory, and false responses when questioned about those lies, and engaged in behavior that brought his impartiality into question
• finding that it was error for the district court to conclude that juror's false statements were unintentional without inquiring whether juror's motivations for lying were benign
• highlighting that the state appellate court’s decision to affirm the denial of a new trial was “based on” the unreasonable determination that the juror did not deliberately lie
• recognizing \implied bias\ where juror lied about felony convic- tions
• presuming bias biased on juror’s pattern of lies
