How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- allowing government to re-prosecute defendant on the “serious” crime of perjury “would, on balance, have a favorable impact on the administration of justice.”
- remanding case for in camera examination of personnel files after prosecution reviewed the files of testifying officers and found potential impeachment material but did not disclose the files
- finding remand for in camera examination of an FBI agent witness’s personnel files appropriate because they “ha[d] only the government’s description of the allegations contained” therein
- court should not rely on the govern- ment’s representations regarding Brady materiality of potential impeachment evidence where credibility is the central issue in the case
- “This language [of § 3162(a)(2)] is obviously broad and the listed factors, as the statute indicates, are not exclusive.”
- \[P]erjury strikes at the heart of the integrity of the judicial system. . . .\
