U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 00-1975
Eastern District of Arkansas
Criminal case - criminal law. District court erred in ordering a
new penalty phase proceeding; the Department of Justice's
death penalty protocol does not create enforceable rights in
the defendant; district court did not err in permitting defense
psychologist to be cross-examined about defendant's past bad
acts; government's mental health expert's testimony that
defendant did not show remorse was not unfairly prejudicial;
defendant had no right to advance notice of the evidence the
government would introduce at the penalty phase; the evidence
the government introduced at the penalty phase was not
prohibited by its prehearing statement or preapproved jury
instructions.
