Richardson Engineering Co. v. William L. Crow Construction Co.

How later courts describe this case

• applying non-deferential pre-AEDPA standard; upholding standard instructions in Pennsylvania capital murder trial against Mills challenge
• noting, in dicta, that “the very notion of ‘accidental’ child molestation is implausible.”
• woman immediately kidnapped from car and raped after man with whom she was driving was killed by defendant
• “neither the specification nor the prosecution history indicate that [the inventor] intended another meaning”
• any possible failure to instruct the jury on the result of the failure to reach unanimity did not raise an error of constitutional dimension
• defendant murdered a man and then raped his girlfriend
