Overview: Ohio prisoner's federal habeas petition was timely because statute of limitations, 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d), began to run on date that resentencing judgment became final. Petition was properly denied because state trial court's consideration of pre-trial psychiatric evaluation, even if erroneous under U.S. Const. amend. V, did not influence sentence.

Thus, prisoner failed to establish that error affected his sentence.

View this case - free  

Overview: Contrary to a defendant's claim that allowing testimony that he possessed a firearm and robbed two of the government's witnesses served the purpose of showing his bad character, such evidence was used to show his involvement in an ongoing conspiracy; thus Fed. R. Evid. 404(b) was inapplicable. Evidence that he threatened a witness was admissible.
