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 word “should” in a reasonable doubt instruction “conveys to the jury a sense of duty or obligation and not discretion”
  • concluding that the defendant invited follow-up testimony on redirect by asking questions about the same subject matter on cross-examination
  • instructional language must be examined in context and cannot be “sequestered from its surroundings” in determining its impact
  • error resulting from testimony was harmless because an earlier witness had already provided the same information
  • a defendant must move to dismiss before trial in order to receive relief for a trial court’s failure to comply with the statutory speedy trial rule, and failure to do so results in the waiver of this right
