State of Washington v. James Michael Miller

How courts have described this case

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

• invalidating district court’s use of the \Alternative B” deadlock charge in the model jury instructions because it was not the \Alternative A” charge approved in Thomas
• rejecting the invitation to reconsider Thomas because the court did not wish to engage again in case-by-case review
• “The admission of recordings into evidence is committed to the sound discretion of the trial court, so long as the tapes are authentic, accurate, and trustworthy.”
• error to admit transcript of tape into evidence because of the risk that the jury might rely on the government’s version of the conversations during deliberations without simultaneously listening to the authenticated tapes to verify the transcript’s accuracy
