Lowe v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that merger was inappropriate where the defendant shot the victim, approached the victim after he fell to his knees, and stood over the victim while he pleaded for his life before “t[aking] deliberate aim” and shooting the victim a second time
• holding defendant not entitled to mistrial after emotional outburst during state's closing argument, where the court gave curative instructions to disregard incident as irrelevant to case
• stating that, where the murder resulted from the single act of firing a series of shots at the victim in rapid succession, no aggravated assault independent of the murder is shown
• finding deliberate interval where defendant shot victim in the arm, victim fell, and defendant walked around car, took deliberate aim at pleading victim, and fired fatal shot
• “[Appellant] initially committed a completed aggravated assault by firing a shot and inflicting a non-fatal wound to the victim’s arm”
• threats of harm do not qualify as prior act of violence against a third party
