How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- indicating that the erroneous admission of evidence for the government is not harmless where the other evidence supporting the government's case is vulnerable to impeachment
- noting that evidence of sale in circumstances suggesting drug transaction is relevant to show that substance was cocaine, and that defendant knew it to be cocaine
- noting that testimony that police found appellant with green weed substance in holding cell could corroborate evidence that he possessed the substance, but not that it was in fact marijuana
- reversing where the court could not say that the constitutional error did not ―contribute‖ to the verdict because of the materiality of the error and where the evidence of the defendant‘s guilt was not overwhelming
- describing the persuasiveness of the DEA-7
