How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that evidence defendant abused a girlfriend, assaulted his sister, and assaulted patients and inmates at facilities probative of future dangerousness
- holding that the USAM does not create substantive or procedural rights enforceable by others
- finding unfair prejudice did not outweigh probative value of future dangerousness evidence because “none of the evidence elicited ... was likely to inflame the jury as much as testimony about [the defendant’s] involvement in the murder”
- “the admis- sion of evidence of unadjudicated prior offenses at a capital sentencing hearing is constitutionally permissible and not inherently prejudicial”
- defendant did not have judicially enforceable rights in internal Department of Justice (DOJ) procedures, including death penalty protocol contained in the United States Attorneys’ Manual
- discussing the “very low barriers to the admission of evidence”
