How courts have described this case

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

  • reasoning that the lack of a \separate and distinct\ act instruction is not dispositive, \so long as the jury is instructed as to the unanimity requirement on each count and different evidence is introduced to support each count\
  • holding victim’s testimony that the defendant “ ‘put his private part in mine’ at least ‘four times’ and some ‘[t]wo or three times a week’ between July 1, 1990 and May 31, 1992” was sufficient to support conviction of four counts of rape of child
  • holding victim’s testimony that the defendant “ ‘put his private part in mine’ at least ‘four times’ and some ‘[t]wo or three times a week’ between July 1, 1990 and May 31, 1992” was sufficient to support conviction of four counts of rape of child
  • noting the phrase “‘on or about’ is sufficient to admit proof of the act at any time within the statute of limitations, so long as there is no defense of alibi”
  • concluding the \on or about\ language allows the State to offer evidence the defendant committed the crime anytime within the statute of limitations period where, as here, the date is not an essential element of the crime and the defendant raises no alibi at the trial court
  • finding sufficient evidence to support child rape charges without medical testimony
