Mullis v. Commonwealth

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that defendant's knowledge that victim owned life insurance policy naming defendant as beneficiary was relevant to show motive
• affirming conviction where jurors’ response to a single question on voir dire indicated “[a]t most” that they “would probably or would have a tendency to give some weight to the fact that a witness was a police officer in resolving credibility issues if all else were equal” (emphasis added)
• “For a juror to give unqualified credence to the testimony of a law enforcement officer and to decide credibility issues solely on that basis is an impermissible basis for resolving credibility and would constitute bias.”
