Terry v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• vacating the death sentence despite little mitigation and because evidence suggested it was a \robbery gone bad\ case
• stating that while there may be a dispute over the weight to be given to a medical examiner’s testimony regarding a victim’s body position before death, admissibility of such an expert to testify is within the trial court’s discretion and does not represent a clear showing of error.
• explaining how, under the invited error doctrine, “an appellant may not complain of action taken by the trial court on his own motion, such as a motion for transfer of the case from equity to law in the trial court, or of evidence that he himself has introduced”
• while it was clear that the murder occurred during a robbery, the circumstances surrounding the actual shooting were unclear and the evidence supported the theory of a \robbery gone bad\
• law enforcement analysts’ notes are exempt from disclosure, notwithstanding they were written in the lab and not in the field
• “[o]ur proportionality review requires us to consider the totality of circumstances in a case, and to compare it with other capital cases” [internal quotation marks omitted]
