Collier v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that trial counsel’s failure to object to the prosecutor’s repeated, pervasive, and clearly improper references during closing arguments to similar transactions committed by the defendant constituted deficient performance and amounted to prejudice that required a new trial
• finding ineffective assistance of counsel based upon State’s impermissible arguments about similar transaction in closing
• wherein we reversed for pervasive prosecutorial argument going to propensity in the guilt-innocence phase of trial
• prosecutor's comment that witness's testimony \sounds just like the truth to me. It's got the ring of truth to it\ was improper statement of his personal belief as to witness's veracity
• prosecutor’s comment that witness’s testimony “sounds just like the truth to me. It’s got the ring of truth to it” was improper statement of his personal belief as to witness’s veracity
• although the State’s notice should have been more specific, the trial court did not err in admitting the similar transaction evidence since the defendant failed to show how his defense was harmed as a result of the state’s failure to comply fully with the notice requirements
