Bruton 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 that single reference to punishment range “wás not of such a damning character that it would be impossible to remove the harmful impression from the minds of the jurors”
• noting that “[t]he prosecutor referred to only one range of punishment” and concluding, “Therefore, the jury was not encouraged to choose between the two offenses on the basis of a comparison between punishments, rather than the facts presented.”
• assuming for sake of argument that statement explaining that crime was second-degree felony and that punishment range was two to twenty years was improper jury argument
