• discussing a prosecutor's duty not to present false 29 SC-2024-0804 evidence during a judicial proceeding
• “[B]y pursuing Noriega’s capture and this prosecution, the Executive Branch has manifested its clear sentiment that Noriega should be denied head-of-state immunity.”
• “[The FSIA] codified the State Department’s general criteria for making suggestions of immunity, and transferred the responsibility for case-by- case application of these principles from the Executive Branch to the Judicial Branch.”
• “Because the FSIA addresses neither head-of-state immunity, nor foreign sovereign immunity in the criminal context, head-of-state immunity could attach in cases, such as this one, only pursuant to the principles and procedures” that existed prior to the enactment of the FSIA.
• explaining “willful blindness . . . might establish constructive knowledge”
