State v. Moore
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of release. The Supreme Court affirmed Appellant’s conviction, holding (1) Appellant’s constitutional challenges to the first-degree premeditated murder statute were procedurally barred; (2) sufficient evidence supported Appellant’s conviction; (3) trial court did not err in instructing the jury on premeditation; (4) any error in allowing Appellant’s former wife to testify did not prejudice Appellant; and (5) any error in the admission of hearsay statements from certain witnesses under the residual hearsay exception was harmless.
