These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The threatening statements made by Es-camilla during the conversation were not offered to prove that Escamilla would actually carry through the threats, but rather to show Herrera’s state of mind in consequence of the statements. The trial court instructed the jury on the duress defense; therefore, the jury was entitled to consider Escamilla’s statements and Herrera’s reaction to them in resolving the issue of criminal intent.”
