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

concluding it was harmless error to instruct jury on three alternative intents to support burglary charge when there was strong evidence of one means and no evidence of other means

“The remaining question is whether Dixon’s burglary convictions can stand in spite of the absence of evidence sufficient to support each theory for the burglary charges.”
defendant’s fourteenth amendment right to fair trial was violated by prosecutor’s elicitation of evidence, and commentary thereon, that defendant had contacted and met with his attorney shortly after allegedly committing illegal acts
