United States v. Samuel Stephen Ealy

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 statutory question of whether to apply the limitation period for capital or for non-capital offenses did not depend on whether the death penalty could be constitutionally imposed for the offense in question
• holding that the defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy in an adjacent, detached garage where his brother performed com- mercial auto work and which the police entered through an open service entrance sometimes used by the public
• defining “target letter” as a writing “advising [a target] that an investigation had uncovered evidence linking him to the commission of a federal crime”
• applying Griffin and concluding that, where the evidence was sufficient to convict the defendant as a principal, \whether the evidence sufficed to convict him on the alternative aiding and abetting theory is irrelevant\
• certain federal statutory murder offenses were “punishable by death” even if the death penalty could not constitutionally be imposed because the prosecution did not allege any of the statutory aggravating factors in the indictment
