How courts have described this case

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

• declining to find that “a vigorous defense” which “adequately presented petitioners’ claims to the state courts” was “so woefully inadequate as to shock the conscience of the court, and made the proceedings a farce and mockery of justice.”
• where witness had stood a few feet from the criminal, identification testimony of witness subject to cross-examination was admissible although witness had only “fleeting” glance of criminal’s profile
• a defendant’s post-trial assertion, not based on any fact in the record, that she requested and was denied counsel during an interrogation was insufficient to make her statements inadmissible.
• observer had only a “fleeting glance” of a “side face”
