Poole v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• “Assuming that the failure to ask for a limiting instruction on the use of appellant’s prior criminal convictions was deficient performance, appellant did not suffer prejudicial harm from the deficiency since the trial court included such a charge in its instructions to the jury.”
• “[T]he credibility of a witness is a question for the jury, not the appellate court.”
• trial counsel’s decision to rely on his investigators’ inspections of murder weapon resulted from reasoned strategic judgment, not inattention, and thus was not dereliction of duty to conduct reasonable investigation
• “felony murder conviction was vacated by operation of law because, where there is only one murder victim, convicting and sentencing a defendant for both malice murder and felony murder of that victim improperly subjects the defendant to multiple convictions and punishments for one crime”
