How has the Court dealt with appellant's appeal against her conviction and sentence?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Amiel v. U.S., 209 F.3d 195 (2nd Cir. 1999):

On appeal, we affirmed appellant's conviction and sentence. See id. at 146. We rejected her principal arguments that: (i) her conviction was based on legally insufficient evidence; (ii) the government failed to disclose evidence favorable to appellant as required by Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963); (iii) the conviction and sentence were barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause; and (iv) the trial judge's disparaging comments to a co-defendants' counsel denied appellant a fair trial. See Amiel, 95 F.3d at 141-46. We did not, however, consider whether appellant was denied effective assistance of trial counsel because her appellate counsel did not raise such a claim.
