State v. Martin

How courts have described this case

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

• upholding trial court’s refusal to instruct the jury on imperfect self defense because the defendant did not satisfy the “some evidence” standard
• “Ordinarily, the source of the evidence of the defendant’s state of mind will be testimony by the defendant.”
• “[T]o merit an instruction, the issue as to which the request is made must have been generated by the evidence.”
• “Since it is the defendant’s subjective belief at the moment that the fatal shot is fired that is relevant and probative, evidence of a prior mental state will not suffice.”
• “The question of one’s state of mind, or his intention, at a particular time is one of fact, and is subjective in nature. Therefore it must be determined by a consideration of his acts, conduct and words.”
