White v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant was charged with felony robbery, felony theft, and felony receiving stolen property. Before trial, the trial court permitted a late filing of a habitual-offender charge. The jury found Defendant was guilty of theft and receiving stolen property and determined that White was a habitual offender. The Supreme Court granted transfer, thereby vacating the decision of the court of appeals but summarily affirming the court of appeals' decision that the two convictions violated double jeopardy principles (resulting in vacation of Defendant's conviction for receiving stolen property). The Court then held (1) under the circumstances of this case, Defendant did not preserve the issue of whether the trial court properly allowed the habitual-offender filing; and (2) the authenticated and certified evidence was sufficient to uphold the jury's determination that Defendant was a habitual offender.
