How courts have described this case

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

  • holding the trial court’s failure to give the multiple counts instruction was harmless error because the jury was given separate verdict forms and it was clear that the jury weighed the evidence in reaching the verdicts
  • affirming aggravated battery conviction after finding evidence could have supported a finding of guilt on any of the three alternative means upon which the jury was instructed
  • considering alternative means arguments under prior version of K.S.A. 21-3414 that varied in wording and structure from version in effect at time of Ultreras’ crimes
  • “Although the multiple-count instruction should have been given in this case, we cannot find that the failure to give the instruction was clearly erroneous.”
  • great bodily harm must be distinguished from \slight . . . or moderate harm\
