Hooper v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to three concurrent sentences of life imprisonment with the possibility of release. Appellant subsequently filed three petitions for postconviction relief, all of which were denied. This appeal involved Appellant's third petition for postconviction relief in which Appellant alleged he was entitled to a new trial based on newly discovered evidence. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the postconviction court did not abuse its discretion when it concluded that Appellant was not entitled to a new trial based on newly discovered evidence; and (2) the chief judge of the district court did not abuse his discretion when he denied Appellant's motion to remove all current and former judges of the Fourth Judicial District for cause.
