How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that a timespan of one week between the incident and the identification was insufficient to defeat the reliability of the identification
  • recognizing an exception to this rule if the ruling reaches the ultimate issue and unequivocally declares the evidence admissible or inadmissible
  • objection to the relevancy and materiality of evidence was insufficient to preserve error on a theory of undue prejudice
  • “Juries are not so susceptible that they cannot measure intelligently the weight of identification testimony that has some questionable feature.”
  • “It is well established that matters not raised in the trial court, may not be raised for the first time on appeal.”
  • “The requirement that an objection be asserted at trial, which specifically encompasses the grounds raised on appeal, is designed to assure that the trial court is alerted to the questions raised and opposing counsel has the opportunity to remedy the defect.”
