Timothy Jon Spytma v. Carol Howes

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that, on habeas review, while a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel regarding jury-waiver issues is subject to a prejudice analysis, “the actual jury waiver issue is arguably not subject to harmless error analysis”
• applying Martin Pleas Court will decide who the other two judges will be?”
• “While the trial court failed to conduct an on-the-record colloquy, such a colloquy is not required and the record does not disclose any evidence that petitioner was so unaware of the rudimentary elements of trial by jury that his waiver cannot stand.”
