How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- rejecting the Ninth Circuit rule requiring the prosecution to correct erroneous testimony before the grand jury
- “With trial judges precluded from assessing witness credibility when considering Rule 29 motions, it is only logical that appellate courts reviewing denials of such motions must also share in the same prohibition.”
- \It is not necessary that the evidence exclude every reasonable hypothesis except that of guilt.\
- evidence that witness is participant in witness protection program and therefore paid and protected by government ‘‘simultaneously enhances and undermines a witness’ credibility’’
- as long as there is “some competent evidence to sustain the charge issued by the Grand Jury” (emphasis in original), an indictment will not be dismissed solely on the basis that other evidence presented to the grand jury may have been false
