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

  • holding that trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to allow a professor of psychology to testify as an expert witness in the field of eyewitness identification
  • adopting an abuse of discretion standard for determining whether the trial court erred in excluding expert testimony on eyewitness identification
  • noting a trial court's wide discretion regarding evidence admissibility and expert testimony
  • contemporaneous convictions for attempted murder by firing gunshots proper basis for finding prior violent felony
  • photo lineup not impermissibly suggestive even though only the defendant had a suntan and his inmate uniform was a lighter blue than those of other inmates in the lineup
  • although the statement that Johnson would not mind shooting people to obtain money was not an admission of specific incriminating facts, it was capable of supporting an inference of guilt and was therefore properly considered
