How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the United States did not suppress the defendant’s statement because it was provided at the preliminary hearing, and due process does not require the United States to disclose the information in a specific manner or form
• finding no reversible error where the prosecutor described the defendant’s statements as “lies” because “the trial court instructed the jury that counsels’ comments did not constitute evidence and that the jury was the sole judge of witness believability”
• “There is no general constitutional right to discovery in a criminal case, and Brady did not create one.”
• “We have characterized as unnecessary and unwarranted a prosecutor’s closing argument in which he called the defendant a liar and told the jury that defendant had not told the complete truth.”
