How later courts describe this case

  • holding: (1) following notice of mail scrutiny, defendant had unreasonable expectation of privacy in mail; (2) prison officials permitted to seize and copy mail without warrant
  • evidentiary hearing properly denied where the petitioner "failed to show what more an evidentiary hearing might reveal of material import....”
  • “It is well settled that an error, even one of constitutional magnitude, that defendant does not bring to the trial court’s attention is waived and will not be considered on appeal.”
  • taken in context, evidence linking defendant to victim’s car was not a Harbison violation
