Thomas v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing \that a trial court should not couch an instruction to a jury or otherwise act in any way that would appear to coerce any juror to reach a hasty decision or to abandon a conscientious belief in order to achieve a unanimous position\
• upholding the trial court’s admission of flight evidence because the flight from police occurred in the same city as the murder and only eleven days after the murder
• referring to the inquiry as whether the police employed an inherently suggestive procedure
• affirming the denial of a motion for mistrial where the Witness “suffered an emotional breakdown after the State asked her to identify the defendants at trial by standing next to them”
• finding no abuse of discretion in failing to grant a mistrial after a friend of the victim suffered an emotional breakdown when asked to identify an accused while testifying in front of a jury
• photographic lineup not unnecessarily suggestive where officer did not suggest which photograph witness should pick
