Jones v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• immediately after charging the jury on reasonable doubt, the trial court neutralized the same by instructing the jury that “reasonable doubt, ‘in other words,’ means honest belief”
• erroneous instruction “purported to summarize the entire charge on reasonable doubt”
• where trial court charged, “if you honestly believe he’s guilty, convict him,” appellant’s failure to object or reserve the right to object later did not waive claim that the erroneous charge improperly lowered the State’s burden of proof
