How courts have described this case

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

  • noting that recent cases have consistently held that a one-man show-up at the scene of the crime or near the time of the criminal act is permissible
  • defendant’s rambling statement in response to detective’s statement that he was willing to end interrogation showed that defendant had not exercised his right to terminate questioning
  • defendant’s “incessant rambling in the face of the detective’s express willingness to terminate the interrogation shows that [defendant] retained the right to cut off questioning”
  • alcoholic character trait as opposed to how that trait influenced the defendant during the crime
  • expert testimony on effects of alcohol intoxication not allowed because jury has adequate knowledge; therefore, jury must decide defendant’s intent the same way a psychiatrist would — “by looking at the facts surrounding the shooting”
  • “Miranda does not require the police to force an accused to remain silent or to turn a deaf ear toward an accused who insists upon talking.”
