How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that rule of proportionality applies only under (a)(1) and what is now (a)(2)(D)
  • explaining that property \affording a source of influence [is] only subject to forfeiture to the extent [it is] tainted by the racketeering activity\
  • finding that general instructions about the jury’s duty to assess credibility “substantially covered” the requested instruction to consider prior inconsistent statements in weighing a witness’s testimony
  • stating that publicity must be extensive to uphold a presumption of prejudice and declining to find a presumption of prejudice despite the defendant’s submission of “volumes” of press coverage
  • recognizing \that the power to grant witness immunity\ is vested in the executive branch
  • finding that references to defendants which were “not phrased in the most genteel or flattering manner, fall significantly short of the type of emotionally charged, inflammatory, sensationalistic coverage needed to support a presumption of prejudice”
