Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. United States v. Baker has been overruled in part on its Confrontation Clause rule for nontestimonial hearsay; all 55 flagged citations have been read, and the confirmed treatment is listed below. The Supreme Court held in Davis v. Washington that such hearsay is outside the Clause, and the Eleventh Circuit later described that aspect of Baker as “undermined to the point of abrogation.” Baker continues to be cited for separate evidentiary and trial-error rules.
More on how this was screened

source source

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.

55 later cases cite United States v. Marvin Baker; 55 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.
