Parks v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that “overwhelming” evidence of guilt rendered any erroneous admission of Rule 404 (b) evidence harmless, particularly where the defendant admitted that he shot victim
• holding that a prior aggravated assault had no real probative value where the defendant admitted shooting the victim but claimed self-defense
• concluding that the appellant’s testimony “opened the door” to evidence of his other felony convictions, “regardless [of] whether his character was implicated”
• holding that the erroneous admission of the defendant’s aggravated assault conviction under OCGA § 24- 4-404 (b) was harmless because there was substantial evidence that the defendant intentionally and maliciously killed the victim rather than acting in self-defense
• noting that “overwhelming” evidence of guilt rendered erroneous admission of Rule 404 (b) evidence harmless, and finding harmless error where defendant testified at trial that he shot victim
• noting that the trial court limiting the appellant’s impeachment of a witness did not affect his substantial rights because “some of the [witness’s] testimony was beneficial to the defense”
