How courts have described this case

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

• providing that error is plain if it “contravenes case law, a rule, or a standard of conduct”
• stating that jury is not required to unanimously agree on which specific acts of domestic abuse constitute a past pattern of domestic abuse
• including in circumstances proved medical testimony that child victim's \cranial trauma was more severe than could be explained by a mere accidental household fall\
• describing second step of analysis: independent examination of inferences drawn from circumstances proved and whether those circumstances are consistent with guilt and inconsistent with any rational hypothesis negating guilt
• affirming conviction arising from infant’s severe head injury, despite defendant’s expert’s testimony of possible accidental cause, because circumstantial evidence showed that injuries “were too severe to be the result of a typical household fall”
• reviewing unobjected-to jury instructions for plain error
