How courts have described this case

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

  • a “golden rule” objection is misplaced if counsel’s argument asks the jurors to put themselves in the place of someone other than the victim or the defendant
  • an improper golden rule argument asks jurors to consider case, not objectively as fair and impartial jurors, but rather from biased, subjective standpoint of litigant or victim
  • counsel’s argument asking the jurors to put themselves in the place of a witness was not an impermissible golden rule argument
  • “The burden is on the party alleging error to show it affirmatively by the record, and when he does not do so, the judgment is assumed to be correct and must be affirmed. [Cit.]”
