Payne 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 the trial court did not err in failing to instruct the jury on grave suspicion because “the trial court’s instructions on reasonable doubt, the presumption of innocence, mere presence, and mere association adequately covered the requested grave suspicion charge”
• “Where the jury charge, taken as a whole, sufficiently instructs the jury on a point of law, a trial court does not err in failing to give an ‘unnecessary,’ ‘additional instruction.’”
• trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding evidence of co-defendant’s drug use where it concluded probative value of evidence was substan- tially outweighed by danger of unfair prejudice
