How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that the district court erred in excluding testimony that the victim was the aggressor in a prosecution for attempted murder and assault
- holding it was error for the district court to exclude lay-witness testimony even on an ultimate issue
- explaining that, if the district court erred in admitting evidence, we must determine “whether there is a reasonable possibility that the wrongfully admitted evidence significantly affected the verdict”
- noting that an error is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt where, even with “the damaging potential of the evidence fully realized, an average jury (i.e., a reasonable jury) would have reached the same verdict”
- analyzing the impact of district court’s erroneous exclusion of defense evidence
- “[I]f there is a reasonable possibility that the verdict might have been more favorable to the defendant if the 9 evidence had not been admitted, then the error in admitting the evidence was prejudicial error.”
