How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that trial judge’s misstatements to a witness about the potential for a perjury prosecution were not the “decisive factor in [the witness’s] decision not to testify” and any error was therefore harmless (emphasis PARK V. THOMPSON 19 added)
• concluding that mere opportunity and ability to commit crime to which hearsay declarant confessed is insufficient corroboration where the statement does not contain facts that only the perpetrator would have known and there was a lack of other evidence linking declarant to the crime
• concluding that declarant being out of his cell—meaning declarant had the opportunity and ability to commit the murder to which he confessed—was merely consistent with tlie confession (not clearly corroborative) because declarant’s statement did not show unique knowledge of the murder
• confirming Mr. Silverstein’s position as one of the three commissioners of the Aryan Brotherhood in the federal prison system
• describing murder of a black inmate by members of the Aryan Brotherhood
