## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that trial court did not erroneously exclude expert’s opinion regarding defendant’s susceptibility to coercion because expert reviewed only a portion of interrogation, rendering expert’s opinion “not sufficiently trustworthy”
- holding evidence of premeditated first degree murder sufficient where the defendant handcuffed the victim to a tree and choked him to death with a wire and slipknot; the defendant then took the victim’s possessions, was seen shortly after the murder with these possessions, and…
- rejecting the argument that there is no meaningful appellate review of death sentences because there is no requirement for written findings concerning mitigating circumstances
- declining to find that arguing that “there were no mitigating statements in the case” was reversible error
