Brown v. Davenport, 596 U.S. 118 (2022), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court.

The case concerned whether habeas relief may be granted if the Brecht v. Abrahamson test alone is satisfied, or if the application of Chapman v. California by the state courts was unreasonable because of the AEDPA.

His wrists, waist, and ankles were all restrained, but there was a curtain to prevent the jury from seeing the shackles.

This appeals court cited the Deck v. Missouri decision, and quoted from Holbrook v. Flynn: "shackling is inherently prejudicial".

[4] The court found that the state had not met the burden of proof necessary to show that the jury was not influenced by the shackling, and provided habeas relief, over the dissent of Judge Chad Readler.
