Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
In a case involving a violent armed robbery of a MacDonald's restaurant, grant of a petition for writ of habeas corpus is reversed where: 1) the challenged questions asked by the prosecution at trial did not transgress the holding of Doyle; and 2) the state appellate court analysis of the harmless error question was a reasonable application of the Chapman standard.
