How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that jury’s decision not to credit appellant’s statement does not indicate that appellant’s guilty verdict was against the weight of the evidence
- grave risk of death to another person found when defendant shot and killed one of a group of people being robbed in a parking lot adjacent to a night club
- appellant cannot prevail on weight claim merely because he believes of all the evidence presented at trial, his statement was most truthful; it is within province of jury, as finder of fact, to decide whether witness’ testimony lacks credibility
