State v. Buchanan

How courts have described this case

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

• holding there was no abuse of discretion where excluded evidence duplicated other evidence and was thus cumulative and delaying
• noting that the defendant had a duty to retreat before acting in self-defense because the shooting took place in the parking lot adjacent to his apartment
• stating that evidence that “merely duplicated other evidence already presented” was cumulative
• shooting a victim once, pausing, walking around the victim, and firing two more shots supported an inference of premeditation
• affirming the district court’s decision to exclude as cumulative a defendant’s testimony about “prior witnessing of street violence” offered to show his state of mind for self-defense
• “[W]here first shots are followed by a pause and second shots, an inference of premeditation is proper.”
