Johnson v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that “issue was not preserved [for appellate review] where trial court was not inclined to admit the evidence but was not yet saying absolutely that it would be excluded”
• holding that appellant’s claim that the State improperly questioned him during cross-examination about his failure to come forward and make a statement was waived because he “did not object to the 6 cross-examination … until a bench conference that he requested two questions later”
• noting that from our review of the entire colloquy, it was unclear “whether the trial court denied the motion [in limine] or deferred a ruling” when it stated it “would not grant” the motion
• even if trial court erred in admitting evidence of defendant’s involvement in marijuana transaction, such error was harmless in light of overwhelming evidence of defendant’s guilt in connection with murder
• for cases decided under the old Evidence Code, a party had to make an objection and obtain a ruling before or as the evidence was admitted in order to preserve an alleged error
• permissible for prosecutor to cross-examine testifying defendant about his failure to mention his fear for his safety to police or others when defendant had talked to police without having invoked his right to remain silent
