Gaddis v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding “[w]here the state’s chief prosecuting witness, by his own admission is unsure as to the identity of the criminal, and where other evidence or lack thereof would support such uncertainty . . . such identification, as a matter of law, is insufficient evidence”
• noting the “complete lack of circumstantial evidence in support of [the defendant’s] guilt”
• sole witness testified that he was threatened with prison if he did not testify against Gaddis and his testimony regarding his identification of Gaddis as assailant was vacillating, contradictory, and uncertain and therefore incredibly dubious
