Barron v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• reviewing the trial court’s failure to give a requested jury charge for plain error because the defendant did not renew his objection after the court charged the jury
• “A request to charge has to be legal, apt, and precisely adjusted to some principle involved in the case and be authorized by the evidence.” (citation and punctuation omitted)
• voluntary manslaughter instruction not warranted where the evidence showed, among other things, a substantial amount of time for the defendant to cool off between the alleged provocation by the victim and the subsequent attack
• appropriate inquiry as to plain error is whether the trial court’s act or omission “was error; whether this was obviously so; and whether the error likely affected the outcome of the proceedings”
• “Harm as well as error is required for reversal.”
• contemptuous gestures not enough to downgrade to voluntary manslaughter
