1993 United States Supreme Court case
Brecht v. Abrahamson, 507 U.S. 619 (1993), was a United States Supreme Court case decided in 1993. The Court held that, when federal courts are deciding whether to grant _habeas _ relief due to unconstitutional error at trial, they should use the harmless error standard outlined in _Kotteakos v. United States _ to assess such claims.
