How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- a judge always retains discretion to “adapt a jury charge to conform appropriately to the evidence at hand”
- reversal warranted where police officer’s identification was likely strong factor, case was not particularly significant, and defendant’s explanation for running away was not implausible
- where counsel objected to instruction and preserved error, there was only one eyewitness, and overall case against defendant was weak, failure to give several relevant portions of Rodriguez instruction was not harmless error and required new trial
