Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
District court's denial of a petition for habeas relief by a defendant convicted of rape and kidnapping is affirmed as the physical evidence supporting a vaginal rape charge was sufficiently weighty that the prosecution's conduct, while highly inappropriate, did not have a substantial and injurious effect on the jury's verdict.
