Juvenile Male v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• holding that neither evidence defendant was not trig-german nor evidence showing defendant’s good character warranted Penry instruction
• holding that a defendant’s guilty plea does not preclude prosecution of a co-defendant when it could not be determined whose gun caused the fatal wound
• observing that judicial estoppel has never been applied against the government in a criminal case
• Finding that where the facts support the conclusion that either defendant could have fired the fatal shot, the prosecutor did not violate due process by arguing at separate trials that the man on trial was the one responsible for the fatal shot.
• no due process basis, independent of the Double Jeopardy Clause, for the application of collateral estoppel
