More on how this was screened

The Sixth Circuit held that a proven false-testimony violation can still be harmless under the separate standard for federal habeas relief. That treatment is listed below. Other citing opinions applied Giglio's disclosure and materiality rules or found their conditions unmet.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

6,848 later cases cite Giglio v. United States; 298 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
