McCleery v. Commonwealth
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of first-degree fleeing or evading the police and several other crimes. Appellant challenged his conviction for fleeing or evading and claimed that the trial court erred in not allowing the jurors to use their notes during deliberations. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions, holding (1) the trial court did not err in denying Defendant's motion for a directed verdict of acquittal on the charge of first-degree fleeing or evading police; and (2) the trial court erred in prohibiting jurors from taking their notes into the jury room for deliberations, but the error was not reversible under palpable-error review.
