How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that “enhanced punishment” in the State’s notice “logically means punishment as a multiple, persistent, or career offender”
  • holding that a notice of sentence enhancement is not required to specify which range—career, persistent, or multiple—applies to the defendant
  • holding that “Notice of Enhancement” document, which listed the defendant’s seven prior convictions, but did not specify which range applied, nonetheless, substantially complied with notice requirements
  • concluding that a notice was adequate when the defendant “failed to show any prejudice arising from a lack of knowledge as to which particular range the State was contemplating to seek for purposes of sentencing”
  • rejecting defendant’s claim that he voluntarily released victim; evidence showed release was due only to successful escape
  • finding notice which stated that the State intended to seek an enhanced punishment but failed to specify a particular sentencing range substantially complied with subsection (a)
