Anderson v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• suggesting that penalty phase faults might have been sufficient for habeas relief had guilt phase faults not been sufficient for relief
• noting the complexity of cases where “an ingredient can arguably be both ah element of a charged crime and of a defense, or the presence of a defense can arguably negate a required element”
• declining, in capital case, to consider jurors’ evidence that, during deliberations, jurors referred to African-American defendant’s race and his interracial relation ship, and made racial jokes
