Overview: A death row inmate's habeas petition was denied on a Brady violation claim because a suppressed police report showing the murder victim was a prostitute was inadmissible; thus, it was not material, and defense counsel had another report as to the victim's prostitution and attempted, unsuccessfully, to introduce that fact at trial.

United States v. Marrero, No. 06-13423 Non-Argument Calendar,
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT, March 6, 2007, Decided , March 6, 2007, Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Defendant's conviction was affirmed. Because defendant did not expressly ask that the court recuse herself, after a lengthy discussion of the court's potential apparent bias and defendant's statement that he would let the court preside, to the extent that he relied on 28 U.S.C.S. § 455(a), that argument was waived.

|
Overview: Defendant's conviction and sentence for conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce by means of robbery, in violation of the Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C.S. § 1951(a), was affirmed. The fact that the intended victims and narcotics were fictional parts of a reverse sting operation was irrelevant; defendant conspired to violently rob a stash house.
