Majors 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, viewing the evidence as a whole, the polygraph evidence likely had little effect on the jury and any error in its admission was harmless
• concluding that the defendant had waived arguments not supported by cogent argument
• finding no error based upon lack of evidence that alcohol influenced daily deliberations in case where, on evening after third day of deliberations, one juror ordered and drank two beers, and bailiffs were allegedly “running up and down the hall filling [drink] orders.”
• “the admission of polygraph evidence is subject to harmless error analysis. The probable impact of the polygraph reference upon the verdict is of prime importance.”
