How courts have described this case

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

• holding trial court erred by excluding evidence that extra-marital affair of defendant's wife sent him into a blind, unthinking rage resulting in a lack of capacity to premeditate murder, but because evidence was cumulative, the error was harmless
• error in excluding testimony tending to show that killing was a crime of passion was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt where the evidence was largely cumulative
