Allen v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that contraband, which was clearly “secreted” in another room in a house, could not be considered to have been in plain view when search took place
• holding that the central issue in cases of this nature is whether the proof at trial showed “more than a strong suspicion or mere probability of guilt”
• recognizing that officer’s testimony that he was able to locate cocaine on top of a refrigerator did not prove that the cocaine was in plain view of appellant, given that she was only seen in the living room and she was seven inches shorter than the officer
• State's suggestion that association with known drug dealer \leads directly to an inference of guilt\ is \contrary to our system of justice\
• “Where the offense is the possession of a controlled substance, the proscribed conduct is possession.”
• “Possession of another type of contraband than that charged is one of the potential factors that may be considered in determining a link between the accused and the contraband in question.”
