Blaize v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of murder, attempted murder, felony murder, and related crimes. The trial court imposed life without parole for the murder conviction and a term of years for the remaining convictions. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial court’s remark to the jury regarding cell tower towers and sites deprived him of a fair trial by vouching for the credibility of the State’s evidence and thereby discrediting his alibi defense. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions and sentences, holding that the judge’s comment did not amount to fundamental error requiring reversal of Defendant’s convictions and a new trial.
