How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that failure to proffer a mitigating circumstance at the sentencing hearing results in waiver of issue for appellate review
  • holding that age is not a mitigator when someone is just about to turn eighteen years old
  • concluding that eighteen-year-old defendant’s history of substance abuse was properly considered to be an aggravating circumstance where the defendant had taken no positive steps to treat his addiction
  • concluding that meaningful consultation did not occur where police secretly watched and recorded consultation
  • holding that when a defendant is aware that a substance abuse problem exists but does not seek treatment, the failure to act indicates something aggravating rather than mitigating about his character
  • holding that a defendant is limited on appeal to the specific grounds argued to the trial court and that a new argument raised for the first time on appeal is waived
