Walker v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that the evidence was sufficient to support capital murder with underlying felony of rape conviction because jury could have inferred that victim “was still clinging to life” when sexual battery occurred
• upholding validity of statutory aggravator that murder was committed for purpose of avoiding or preventing a lawful arrest where defendants kidnaped and raped victim before murdering her
• finding no error in prosecutor's argument which rebutted defense counsel's efforts to show that the State's chief witness was lying; also upholding prosecutor's remarks that were in direct response to the defendant's attempts to show remorse
• “find[ing] that a thorough consideration of Walker, his crime [of capital murder during the commission of sexual battery of teenager] and the sentence imposed in this case, as compared to . . . all other death penalty cases, indicates the death penalty is proportionate”
• “The assignment is procedurally barred since [the] only stated objection to [a jury instruction] was on other grounds than [those] now claimed on this appeal.”
• Court has held “[i]f no contemporaneous objection is made, the error, if any, is waived.”
