How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that the trial court erred by admitting deputy’s description of the suspect that was sent out in BOLO
  • holding that the trial court erred by admitting deputy's description of the suspect that was sent out in BOLO
  • recognizing that the contents of a BOLO were inadmissible as they contained incriminating hearsay statements but that the error was harmless where the victim testified to the same information at trial
  • holding it was error to allow sheriff to testify about the description of the suspect broadcast in a BOLO, but error was harmless where the victim testified to the same description at trial, rendering the erroneously admitted testimony cumulative.
  • “’[T]he contents of a BOLO are generally inadmissible . . . .’ However, when as here, the victim testifies to the same information during the trial, courts have often considered the admission of the BOLO’s contents cumulative in nature, and, therefore, harmless.”
