How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- stating “when a witness has not been impeached, evidence of prior consistent statements is inadmissible” and calling the violation of this principle “improper bolstering”
- finding the admission of improper bolstering testimony mandated reversal because \the State relied solely upon [the] [v]ictim's testimony to establish the details of the crime and the identity of the perpetrator\
- social worker’s testimony as to details of sexual abuse reported by victim constituted impermissible bolstering of victim's testimony because the testimony was not limited to the time and place of assault
