How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that a district court’s voir dire questions, including one that asked the venire panel generally whether there was any reason they couldn’t render an impartial verdict, were “too broad”
  • rejecting the government’s harmlessness argument in part because “the jury was at one point hopelessly deadlocked on a verdict”
