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
