How courts have described this case

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

  • finding no error in admitting, under Rule 701, witness’s identification of defendant from security footage because witness’s familiarity with defendant better equipped witness to identify defendant from that footage than jury
  • rejecting claim that identification testimony of nonper- cipient witness was unfairly prejudicial because defen- dant could not fully cross-examine witness, as defen- dant made tactical decision not to cross-examine witness, which did not result in unfair prejudice
