How courts have described this case

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

holding that the prosecutor’s statement about facts outside the record was not so extreme that it could not be cured by an instruction to disregard
holding that any error was harmless given the “mildness” of the prosecutor’s comments and the strength of the evidence supporting the defendant’s death sentence
concluding that defendant failed to preserve error when trial court deferred ruling on objection to defendant’s question but defendant never asked question again or obtained ruling
holding that officer’s testimony that consent was voluntarily given is sufficient to prove voluntariness
holding that evidence of oral consent is sufficient to show consent was voluntary
holding that the State’s argument that the “family of the murdered victims” and “the victims themselves . . . cry out to you, for the death penalty in this case” was arguably a justifiable plea for law enforcement
