How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concealing murder weapon and immediately fleeing scene after shooting victim considered along with removing potential witness from scene prior to shooting to infer intent
- testimony of three psychiatrists, clinical psychologist and family members describing defendant's deterioration in two years prior to murder
- trial court reasonably rejected expert opinion because opinion was based on \generally self-serving interview statements of the defendant and his family members\
- jury could have inferred intent to cause death on basis of defendant's hiding murder weapon after crime by \wrapp[ing] [it] in an old pair of pants\ and \hid[ing] [it] beneath the turntable of a stereo set in [his] bedroom\
- defendant fatally shot victim from close range with .38 caliber revolver
- evidence that defendant had intentionally concealed weapon prior to shooting and had fled city and hid weapon after shooting defeated claim that ‘‘he had killed the victim in a fit of rage or passion, or under the influence of a similarly extreme emotion’’
