How later courts describe this case

  • stressing the lack of maliciousness in finding that police conduct does not meet the shocks-the-conscience standard
  • since trial counsel’s failure to object would have been fruitless, “the failure to so object is not evidence of ineffective assistance of counsel”
  • seventy-five years not disproportionate for forty-five counts of money order alterations
