Rainwater Concrete Co. v. Cardinal Concrete Co.

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that prosecutor’s characterization of defense’s argument as a “smoke screen” or “octopus beclouding surrounding water” was “just that: the prosecutor’s characterization of the defendant’s evidence” and not prosecutorial misconduct
• concluding that the petitioner was not entitled to habeas relief “[b]ecause the Michigan Court of Appeals was not unreasonable in finding that the[ ] comments [challenged in his prosecutorial misconduct claim] did not render [the] trial fundamentally unfair”
• ”Thus, as long as the last reasoned opinion of the state court . . . does not contradict clearly established federal law, habeas relief is inappropriate.”
