Overview: Habeas petitioner's adjudication as a sexual predator under Ohio law did not effectively reopened the judgment against him and restart the 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d)(1) statute of limitations period as to his original conviction, but only with respect to challenges to the sexual predator designation.

View this case - free  

Overview: Evidence, although circumstantial, was "highly probative" where witness testified that she saw victim tied up in death row inmate's car, and that the inmate had told her that he was going to "waste" the victim because "she would tell." The body was nude from the waist down, and a jury could have reasonably inferred that the victim had been raped.

Overview: Where Immigration Judge briefly addressed immigrant's claim under Convention Against Torture, stating simply that evidence fell well short of grant under that section of law, basing conclusion on the fact that immigrant testified that he was repeatedly beaten for months but brought forward no medical evidence, IJ's scant reasoning was inadequate.

Samatar v. Clarridge, No. 06-3833, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT, May 18, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: There was no basis to grant a habeas petitioner relief under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 where, even if a state expert's finding of no cathine was flawed, his strong testimony created sufficient evidence to justify a rational trier of fact in finding the khat in the petitioner's possession contained a high level of cathinone.

Overview: Because the victim's statements to a 911 operator, and to police at the scene, and when defendant appeared on the scene were nontestimonial and because defendant had not shown that the admission of the statements violated Fed. R. Evid. 803(2) or any other rule, their admission did not violate the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment.

View this case - free  

Overview: District court did not err in sentencing defendant to 160 months in prison pursuant to his plea of guilty to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C.S. § 846 because the district court recognized the advisory nature of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and considered the relevant factors under 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553.

United States v. Zaky, No. 05-4654, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT, May 18, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Although advisory Guidelines range was 12 to 18 months for defendant's violations of 18 U.S.C.S. §§ 1341, 1343, 1001 and 31 U.S.C.S. § 333, district court's sentence of 30 months was reasonable. District court explicitly discussed 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors and found 18-month sentence inadequate to punish continued course of fraudulent conduct.
