991119P.pdf 12/29/1999 USA v. Brice E. Christians
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 99-1119
District of North Dakota
Criminal case - criminal law. Ineffective assistance of counsel
claim should be raised in a subsequent habeas action; no error in
permitting government to explain why videotapes were blank even
though the testimony may have created the impression defendant
erased them during a jailhouse viewing; comment that there was no
contrary evidence was not an improper comment on defendant's
decision not to testify.
