Harrison 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 that a prosecutor’s comment to a defendant that his cooperation “could be of benefit to him, but not necessarily” was vague and ambiguous and did not render the confession involuntary
• finding no fault with an abandonment instruction that read, in part: “When two or more persons combine to commit a crime, each is criminally responsible for the acts of his confederates committed in furtherance of the common design, the act of each being the act of all.”
• commentary by the Indiana Law Study Commission noting that the newly enacted statute is consistent with the law as set out in Hedrick
• corpus delicti was established by independent evidence that the homicide was violent and was criminal in nature — the State was not required to establish, independent of the confession, the exact felony underlying the felony murder charge
