United States v. Thomas Jerome Dillon

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that evidence of flight from law enforcement is admissible to prove guilt
• holding that because the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence of flight, such a conclusion “forecloses any argument” that the district court erred in deciding to give a flight instruction
• “the mental crisis that precipitates flight may fail to occur immediately after the crime, only to erupt much later, when the defendant learns that he or she is charged with the crime and sought for it”
• “[A] guilty defendant is almost as unequivocally put on notice of his peril by a convicted co- conspirator who is on the verge of testifying . . . about their common crime.”
