How courts have described this case

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

although offense was included, since evidence showed defendant was guilty of the charged offense, no lesser instruction was required
“The only defense arising from the evidence and from defense counsel’s arguments was misidentification. Defendant was either guilty of the offenses as charged or not guilty. Thus, the trial court properly refused defendant’s instructions on the lesser-included offense.”
