Dill v. Stategreen
ind · 2001 · cited in 4 Indiana opinions naming this issue, 2003–2014
2 sentences

2014In Dill v. State, our Supreme Court found that the trial court erred in giving a flight instruction to the jury, and it noted that, although the evidence of flight might “be a proper subject for counsel’s closing argument, it does not follow that a trial court should give a discrete instruction highlighting such evidence.” 741 N.E.2d 1230, 1232 (Ind. 2001).

2006See Dill v. State, 741 N.E.2d 1230, 1232 (Ind.2001) (noting that although a flight instruction constitutes error, the jury may consider flight and related conduct in determining a defendant's guilt).

State, 602 N.E.2d 111 (Ind.1992), the supreme court did not find that it was error to give a flight instruction until its decision in Dill v. State, 741 N.E.2d 1230 (Ind.2001).
