Bannister v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• analyzing under Rule 403 argument that appellant’s statement was “extremely prejudicial,” although appellant did not specifically cite the rule
• explaining that evidence that the appellant said during a recorded jail call, “‘I know I f**ked up. It’s all messed up,’” was not unfairly prejudicial and was probative “because it indicated that after the shooting [of the victim, the appellant] believed he had done something wrong”
• “[I]n a criminal trial, inculpatory evidence is inherently prejudicial; ‘it is only when unfair prejudice substantially outweighs probative value that [Rule 403] permits exclusion.’” (citation omitted)
• where an objection that a statement by the defendant was “extremely prejudicial” was analyzed under Rule 403, even though the defendant did not specifically cite the rule
• trial counsel not ineffective in withdrawing request to charge on mutual combat because no evidence supported that charge
• “There was also evidence that Appellant was engaged in a felony drug deal at the time of the shooting, which would preclude his self-defense claim, as the jury was properly instructed.” (citing OCGA § 16-3-21 (b) (2))
