How courts have described this case

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

finding once substantial step has occurred, “abandonment of criminal purpose comes too late to avoid liability”
totality of the circumstances was sufficient to support trial court’s ruling that State’s strike of venireperson was race neutral and not pretextual
an act showing a change of direction may raise doubt as to the firmness of the actor’s purpose and is a factor to consider in determining whether the substantial step was strongly corroborative of the firmness of the actor’s purpose
“A venireperson’s statement that he or she can set aside a prior experience and be “fair and impartial” does not resolve the issues in a Batson context where the party seeking to strike the venireperson might have reason to think otherwise”
