Gonzalez v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that the doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing is based on the principle that any tampering with a witness estops the tamperer from making an objection based on the results of his own chicanery
• setting forth an extremely thorough examination of the doctrine’s development across state and federal courts
• stating doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing “is based on common honesty and the maxim that no one shall be permitted to take advantage of his own wrong”
• finding a logical inference that the appellant killed the victims because he did not want any witnesses to his crime, especially witnesses who knew him and knew where to find him
• noting with approval that “[s]everal pre- and post- Crawford cases have cited Rule 104(a) as the proper mechanism for the trial court to use in deciding whether the forfeiture [by wrongdoing] doctrine applies in a particular case”
• characterizing admission of out-of-court statements under rule as “an evidentiary ruling”
