Brown v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding a reasonable juror could not have believed the challenged jury instruction referred to defendant’s trial testimony rather than his pre-trial statement to police
• holding that taken in context of charge as a whole, jury could not have thought that instruction - that it should consider with great care and caution evidence of any statement by defendant - referred to defendant’s trial testimony rather than pretrial statement to police
• “[T]he evidence relied upon by [the defendant] established either that the pistol discharged accidentally when the victim wrestled [the defendant] over its control or that [the defendant] intentionally fired the weapon. The charge on involuntary manslaughter thus was not required.”
