Most-quoted passages

“The writ of habeas corpus ordinarily will not lie solely to correct alleged errors in evidentiary rulings. Lisenba v. California, 1941, 314 U.S. 219, 228 , 62 S.Ct. 280, 286 , 86 L.Ed. 1222 ; Salemme v. Ristaino, 1 Cir., 1978, 587 F.2d 81, 85 . To rise to constitutional magnitude, such an error must ‘so infuse the trial with inflammatory prejudice as to render a fair trial impossible.’ Salemme v. Ristaino, ante, 587 F.2d at 86 .”
