|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kim v. State Anchor | green | “to preserve for appellate review a complaint that a sentence is grossly disproportionate, constituting cruel and unusual punishment, a defendant must present to the trial court a timely request, objection, or motion stating the specific grounds for the ruling desired.” | 23 |
| 2 | Mays v. State | green | “preservation of error is a systemic requirement that a first-level appellate court should ordinarily review on its own motion; . . . it is incumbent upon the court itself to take up error preservation as a threshold issue.” | 15 |
| 3 | Davis v. State | green | “the legislature is vested with the power to define crimes and prescribe penalties.” | 11 |
