United States v. Willis Kendrick, III

How courts have described this case

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

• upholding exclusion of prosecutor’s statements at a prior trial because they posed high risks of confusing the jury by introducing “an entirely new set of evidence and hypotheses”
• no presumption of vindictiveness when the State charged the defendant with additional charges after an acquittal
• “[W]hen a criminal defendant chooses to testify on his own behalf, his statements, if disbelieved by the jury, may be considered as substantive evidence of his guilt.”
• continuing to define “reckless disregard” with the faulty instruction
