Francis v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that in Hall this Court \reasoned that the [new] instruction provided sufficient guidance so as to save both the instruction and the aggravator from a vagueness challenge\
• rejecting argument that defendant was mentally ill at the time and thus could not have intended to cause suffering or torture because intent is not a necessary element of the aggravator
• finding no improper doubling where the sentencing court merged the pecuniary gain aggravator with during the course of a felony aggravator based on a robbery
• “It is well established that trial judges have broad discretion in deciding whether to read back testimony.”
