How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that Blakely announced a new rule of federal constitutional law that \must be applied to all cases pending on direct review\
  • stating that “[t]he principle of finality is key” in determining whether changes in the law are retroactive
  • explaining that “[t]he principle of finality is key” in our retroactivity determinations
  • explaining that “it is not enough that a new constitutional rule of procedure is logically an extension of some precedent, as that is true of virtually all recently announced rules”; rather the result must have been “compelled by existing precedent”
  • finding it persuasive that the Blakely decision “was issued by a closely divided five to four court,” in determining that Blakely announced a “new rule of constitutional criminal procedure unavailable for collateral use”
