Scott v. Dime Savings Bank of New York

How later courts describe this case

• holding that defendant failed to raise a constitutional issue at trial and thus failed to preserve the issue for appellate review
• finding no error in statement that crime was "one of the worst murders anybody has ever heard of"
• finding evidence on the record that the relationship between a bank and a borrower was not the “usual relationship” but one that under “special circumstances” gave rise to fiduciary duties
• outlining factors to consider in determining whether prima facie case is shown
• “AEDPA increases the deference to be paid by the federal courts to the state court’s factual findings and legal conclusion.”
