How courts have described this case

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

noting that \the Act is silent on the procedure to follow when an accused seeks immunity\
holding a defendant is entitled to either a pre-trial immunity hearing under the Protection of Persons and Property Act or a self-defense jury charge but not both
concluding defendant, who sought immunity under the Act after he fatally shot the victim, was defaulted into section 16-11-440(C) where the victim was a social guest and rightfully in the defendant’s mother’s apartment
holding the General Assembly did not intend to require the circuit court \to accept the accused's version of the underlying facts\ in determining a motion for immunity pursuant to the Act
holding because the defendant was a social guest, he was rightfully in the apartment
finding subsection 16-11-440(C) of the Act should not have been charged to the jury because \the trial court had denied Appellant immunity\
