Federal Case

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that about 25% of potential jurors admitting to disqualifying prejudice is below threshold to presume bias of rest of venire
• stating that a change of venue may be ordered where the community has been “saturated” with publicity against the defendant
• finding certain prejudicial evidence admissible because it was so “closely intertwined” with the acts charged
• finding no presumption of prejudice where twenty-five percent of the venire admitted believing that the defendants were guilty
• involving police shooting of two supporters of Puerto Rican independence and allegations in the press and at televised hearings before Puerto Rico’s senate that the police officers had murdered the activists after they had been captured and fully subdued
• “Application for a continuance rather than a change of venue is particularly disfavored where ... there is little reason to believe that the prejudicial publicity complained of will abate within a foreseeable period.”
