Heard 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 although the evidence that the appellant participated in the crimes for which he was convicted was “not strong,” it was constitutionally sufficient
• concluding that prejudicial effect of other-acts evidence was “substantial” because of the egregious means by which the earlier crime was committed
• concluding that “[t]here was no reason to believe” that the defendant committed the respective offenses considering the “the major differences between them”
• explaining that the trial court’s instruction that the jury could consider the inadmissible evidence for a number of improper purposes increased the harm of the evidence
• noting that stealing a vehicle and then burning and abandoning that vehicle were not distinctive enough features to satisfy the common-scheme analysis
• noting that the evidence that Appellant committed the charged crimes was “shaky”
