101709P.pdf   03/08/2011  Howard Garrison  v.  Jerry Burt
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1709
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Melloy and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Habeas. Garrison's second trial did not violate his double jeopardy rights as there was no evidence the prosecutor's actions in the first trial, while later determined to be a basis for reversal, were intended to provoke a mistrial; prosecutor's redirect examination at the second trial did not violate Garrison's Fourteenth Amendment right to a fair trial as the question, while inartful, was not so inappropriate as to make the trial fundamentally unfair; evidence was constitutionally sufficient to support Garrison's murder convictions.
