Pender 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 jury could infer that defendant rubbed child victim’s genital area to arouse his own sexual desires, where, among other things, there was evidence that the defendant took nude photographs of the victim
• following trial, the jury found the appellant guilty on seven counts of the indictment, but was unable to reach a verdict on two of the counts, which were placed on the dead docket; a direct appeal followed
• applying plain error standard to the appellant’s unpreserved Confrontation Clause claim
• “A lack of intent to restore the property to its rightful owner can be demonstrated by direct evidence or inferred from the circumstances.”
• no plain error because even assuming a firearms examiner’s statement was “tes- timonial,” any error in admitting it had no effect on the outcome of trial
• evidence was sufficient to support theft by receiving stolen property conviction where the State 56 presented evidence that the defendant was in possession of the truck that had been stolen by his accomplice
