Newell v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• rejecting the trial court’s ruling that toxicology results invited speculation by the jury because the decedent’s aggressive and violent behavior had been presented before the toxicology-related testimony
• finding the trial court's exclusion of a shooting victim's blood toxicology results was reversible error because the trial court's refusal to admit the toxicology screening prevented the defendant from fully presenting his defense theory
• finding abuse of discretion when the trial court excluded toxicology results
• The castle doctrine “creates a presumption of fear and abridges a duty to retreat in certain prescribed circumstances.”
• in self-defense case, “the exclusion of [the decedent’s] toxicology results was an abuse of discretion”
• defendant’s message left on wife’s cell phone in which he threatened to shoot her and her alleged lover not confidential for purpose of spousal privilege since wife would have communicated to lover or police
