United States v. Scott Gordon Duncan

How courts have described this case

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

• drug possession case: no due process violation unless both prejudice and intent proven, no prejudice shown from loss of potentially favorable witness
• claim that delay resulted in former girlfriend’ s refusal to testify not sufficiently prejudicial to justify dismissal because no indication former girlfriend would aid defense
• the admittedly real possibilities that memories will dim, witnesses will become inaccessible, and evidence will be lost are insufficient, in themselves, to demonstrate that a defendant cannot receive a fair trial
