How courts have described this case

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

  • noting that such documentary evidence might be insufficient in a habitual criminal trial
  • noting that for the habitual off ender statue — which was the statute at issue — “the prosecutio n must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accus ed is the person named in the prior convictions”
  • for defendant convicted of being “habitual criminal,” which significantly enhances sentence, same name and birth date insufficient “particularly because defendant‟s name is not unusual or distinctive”
  • limiting instruction 27 alleviates danger of unfair prejudice
