Tyer v. United States

How courts have described this case

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

• assuming a Rule 16 violation but affirming denial of missing evidence instruction because inspection of the evidence was unlikely to elucidate the transaction at issue
• affirming trial court’s denial of a missing evidence instruction and “finding it sufficient to allow defense counsel to question the officers about their ‘perhaps sloppy police work’”
• noting with respect to recantations proffered posttrial, that “if the trial court does not deem the recantation credible, that determination ends the inquiry” under the interest of justice standard
• noting with respect to recantations proffered posttrial, that “if the trial court does not deem the recantation credible, that determination ends the inquiry” under the interest of justice standard
