State v. Bannister (2007)
From Judgepedia
- Justice Louis Butler dissented from the majority opinion, instead concluding that a criminal defendant who was convicted by a jury of being selling illegal narcotics was entitled to a new trial, because it was mentioned during the trial that a recipient of the illegal narcotics had died of a drug overdose from their ingestion, and that this information likely had an unduly prejudicial effect on the jury.
