How courts have described this case

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

  • explaining that evidence of premeditation was admissible when defendant was retried solely for second-degree murder after his first-degree murder conviction was vacated
  • affirming denial of defendant’s motion for change of judge for cause where judge had voluntarily recused from sentencing, refused to recuse from motion for new trial, and then withdrew voluntary recusal after reading defendant’s motion
  • informal conversation between judge and media and receipt of ex parte communications concerning sentencing did not require disqualification
  • a defendant's general character, age, health, attitude, moral character, and prior criminal record or lack thereof are valid considerations
  • no error found due to unnamed unknown parties’ statements to judge to be tough when sentencing because comments did not address factual matters or suggest sentences
  • “Once a privilege has been waived, and confidentiality lost, it may not be reasserted.”
