United States First Circuit

Because the trial court made painstaking efforts to ensure the defendant was aware of the nature and consequences of his decision to proceed with a stipulated evidence trial, and of the rights he would be forfeiting by doing so, the defendant was not entitled to habeas relief based on an unreasonable application of the Supreme Court decision discussing such trials.
