How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding error in trial court’s failure to give an alibi instruction when requested by the defendant and the defendant’s alibi and the prosecution’s case rested on credibility determinations by the jury
- defendant’s requested instruction, which charged that defendant did not have the burden to establish his innocence, deemed not cumulative since government’s proof of identity was weak and defendant’s alibi evidence could have been easily disbelieved by the jury
