How courts have described this case

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

  • finding use of a mug shot in a photographic lineup was not improper character evidence because they were displayed \in such a way as to hide any indication of their origin\ and no testimony \reveal[ed] the origin of the photographs\
  • finding a line-up including a photo of the appellant was admissible \because the state had a demonstrable need to introduce the photos and because there was nothing about the photographs or the way they were introduced that suggested [the appellant] had a prior criminal record\
  • \Any Batson violation in regards to a possible alternate juror is harmless where an alternate was not needed for deliberations.\
  • even if judge erred in accepting prosecutor’s reasons for striking potential female juror, error harmless because she had been struck as alternate and use of alternates was not necessary during trial
