Locklear v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• finding evidence sufficient to support conviction of concealing death of another where defendant told law enforcement he had not seen the victim despite knowing the victim was dead
• appellant’s statement “that’s as far as I’m going with it,” considered in context, was not an unambiguous and unequivocal invocation of the right to remain silent
• appellant failed to show that the verdict form that included “the unnecessary insertion of the ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ standard with respect to the presence of mitigating circum- stances” likely affected the outcome of the proceedings “in light of the charges as a whole”
