Chewning v. Pollak

How courts have described this case

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

• a profusion of correct charges regarding the State's burden of proof may counterbalance an incorrect charge that effectively diminishes the presumption that the defendant is innocent
• jury not misled by slip of tongue regarding “doubt” where court gave full and accurate instruction on law of “reasonable doubt”
• a verbal inaccuracy in the jury charge, “resulting from a palpable ‘slip of the tongue,’ ” did not mandate a new trial because it “clearly did not mislead or confuse the jury”
