In Re Walter M.

How courts have described this case

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

• finding the defendant's actions in retrieving a gun, walking into another room, pointing the gun, and pulling trigger, which required six pounds of pressure to fire, constituted evidence of malice sufficient to withstand a directed verdict
• finding appellant's argument that the State failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he killed the victim with malice aforethought was unpreserved because appellant made no objection to the final verdict of the family court or a motion for a new trial
• “Generally, an issue must be both raised to and ruled upon by the trial court in order to be preserved for appellate review.”
• directed verdict standard in juvenile proceedings
