How courts have described this case

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

  • suggesting that victim testimony was sufficient to dispel any doubts arising from defendant’s conflicting confessions
  • holding evidence that defendant put loaded gun to carjacking victim’s head and threatened him sufficed to demonstrate conditional intent to kill or seriously injure
  • holding “evidence that [defendant] placed a loaded and cocked revolver against [victim’s] head at the inception of the carjacking and verbally threatened him” sufficient to establish requisite intent
  • noting that \it would be most unusual for us to find that a district court erred in failing to give a limiting instruction that was never requested\ regarding an extra-judicial statement by the appellant's codefendant implicating both defendants
  • finding evidence that defendant placed loaded gun to the head of the victim and threatened victim at the moment he demanded the victim turn over the car sufficient under Holloway
  • considering whether the mens rea element of the carjacking statute had been proven over the defendants' claim that their intent to seriously harm or kill the victim was formed after taking control of his vehicle
