Thompson v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a detective’s testimony that she believed that the defendant was the shooter “would have come as no surprise to the jury” because she obtained a warrant for the defendant’s arrest
• holding that the appellant failed to show prejudice from his counsel’s decision not to move to strike the juror for cause because “there is no indication that a challenge for cause would have been successful”
• concluding that the appellant had not shown that the challenged testimony probably affected the outcome of his trial under the third part of the plain error test, because the testimony was not particularly prejudicial and the other evidence of his guilt was compelling
• “‘[S]uch comments upon the patently obvious generally pose little, if any, danger of prejudice.’” (citation omitted)
• a detective’s opinion testimony indicating she believed appellant to be the shooter “did not violate the ultimate issue rule in the new Evidence Code”
• “Appellant claims that his convictions are void because the record does not show that his indictment was returned in open court.”
