7 Utah opinions name it 2 courts 2022–2026 7 in the last five years
The cases below were cited by Utah courts in a sentence that names this issue. Sides come from how each citing opinion treated the case (Syfertize flag on that citation), so a case can appear on both: that is where the law is contested. A red or yellow chip is the case's own overall treatment.
| Case | Followed | Cited |
|---|---|---|
State v. Reecegreen2 sentences2025Put differently, to prevail on appeal, the appellant must show that “the likelihood of a different outcome absent the error must be sufficiently high to undermine confidence in the verdict.” Reece, 2015 UT 45, ¶ 33 (quotation simplified). 2024In other words, “the likelihood of a different outcome absent the error must be sufficiently high to undermine confidence in the verdict.” Id. (cleaned up). | 3 | 5 |
Puckett v. United Statesgreen1 sentence2025Structural Errors ¶25 Since Olano, the Court has continued to entertain the possibility that some errors can “automatically satisfy the third prong of the plain error test.” See Puckett, 556 U.S. at 140 (collecting cases). | 1 | 1 |
Molina-Martinez v. United Statesgreen2 sentences2025Third, for some errors, “the error itself can, and most often will, be sufficient to show a reasonable probability of a different outcome absent the error.” Molina-Martinez, 578 U.S. at 198 . 1. 2025It held that “[w]hen a defendant is sentenced under an incorrect Guidelines range . . . the error itself can, and most often will, be sufficient to show a reasonable probability of a different outcome absent the error.” Molina-Martinez, 578 U.S. at 198 (emphasis added). | 1 | 1 |

State v. Zimpfer

State v. Mike
green
1 sentence2025Here, we are not convinced that there is a reasonable likelihood that even if the challenged testimony had been excluded, Mike would have obtained a more favorable verdict at trial. ¶27 Despite Mike’s assertions to the contrary, the jury’s finding that Mike repeatedly punched Sister in the face, which formed the 20231100-CA 9 2025 UT App 163 State v. Mike basis for his assault and intoxication convictions, was amply supported by the evidence. | 1 | 2025–2025 |
Counted by distinct opinions that both name this issue and are annotated to the section; sections every opinion cites regardless of issue are not filtered here, so read the counts against the total above.
Opinions by the citing court's state. A doctrine retained in one state and abandoned in another shows up here as a year span that stalls.
