Bonds v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that a picture of the victim’s skull with “decomposing skin falling off, a dislocated mandible, and maggots crawling all around and in the vacant occipital orbits” to show the angle of entry of the bullet was more probative than prejudicial
• reversing due to the admission of a photograph “of a rotting, maggot-infested, disfigured skull and face” when the photograph otherwise offered no discernable probative value
