How courts have described this case

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

  • finding improper the trial court’s references in its jury instructions to specific evidence presented at trial by State and its failure to mention exculpatory testimony of defendant
  • finding issue preserved where it was clear from the court’s comments that it understood defense counsel’s objection to a jury instruction and that it had an opportunity to correct the error
  • reversing where court’s reinstruction following jury question “improperly focused the jury’s attention on whether the victim had been stabbed with a knife and away from the defendant’s claim that there had been no assault”
  • issue preserved where trial court understood and addressed substance of relatively vague objection
