How courts have described this case

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

“sentencing court need not unrealistically avoid any mention of such inherent factors, treating them as if they did not exist”
The court “need not unrealistically avoid any mention of such inherent factors, treating them as if they did not exist.”
jurors’ accidental viewing of restrained defendant was not reversible error without an affirmative showing of prejudice
Out-of-court statements explaining a course of conduct “should be admitted only to the extent necessary to provide that explanation and should not be admitted if they reveal unnecessary and prejudicial information.”
Out-of-court statements showing a subsequent course of conduct “should be admitted only to the extent necessary to provide that explanation and should not be admitted if they reveal unnecessary and prejudicial information.”
“Because television and the media regularly depict criminal defendants in handcuffs, a juror’s viewing a defendant in handcuffs can no longer be regarded as having a shocking effect on a prospective juror’s sensibilities.”
