How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that a trial court did not err by refusing to permit a defendant to introduce into evidence the portions of a statement he gave an officer in which he said he was willing to take a polygraph test
  • holding that “in the absence of unusual circumstances we cannot now anticipate, it is not relevant evidence whether a defendant, a victim, or a witness was willing to take a polygraph test …”
  • concluding that there was no fatal variance where indictment alleged property belonged to husband when it was owned by wife, as “[a]ny legal interest or special property interest in property stolen will support an allegation of ownership”
