   • 2004, Scott Oaks, Henry Wong, Java Threads:

     By the way, this antideadlock behavior of the synchronized keyword is not necessarily a good thing. When a thread encounters a runtime exception while it is holding a lock, there's the possibility—indeed, the expectation—that it will leave the data it was manipulating in an inconsistent state.

   • 2011, Brandon Garrett, Convicting the Innocent, page 174:

     The judge gave them antideadlock instructions, reminding them of the reasonable doubt standard that the State must satisfy and encouraging them to try to arrive at a verdict.
