Stevens v. People

How courts have described this case

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

• holding no abuse of discretion when Superior Court failed to act as a thirteenth juror
• stating that “[e]ven if it were true, as asserted by the [appellant], that much of the People’s evidence was laden with inconsistencies, the uncorroborated testimony of the victim would have been sufficient to sustain the convictions.”
• adopting the same standard of review as the federal courts for the denial of a motion for a new trial because the rules are so similar
• “Thus, [the victim’s] identification of Stevens as the shooter, which was credited by the Superior Court, and obviously the jury as well, provided a sufficient basis to deny Stevens’s challenge to the weight of the evidence.”
