How courts have described this case

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

suggesting that analogy was improper but did not rise to level of plain error to require new trial
holding that a prosecutor’s reference to defense counsel as “an octopus releasing inky fluid” and as “throwing dust on the road to justice” did not deny the defendant a fair trial where the “comments, when viewed in the context and totality of the closing arguments, were brief”
any error in admission of evidence was harmless where the evidence of defendant’s guilt was overwhelming
