State v. Jones
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of second degree murder, second degree assault, and endangering the welfare of a child. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions, holding (1) the trial court did not err in overruling Defendant’s motions for judgment of acquittal on each offense for which she was convicted, as there was sufficient evidence from which a reasonable juror could find Defendant guilty of each offense; and (2) because the State presented evidence that sufficiently established the corpus delecti of the murder offense, Defendant failed to establish facially substantial grounds for believing that the trial court committed clear error in admitting into evidence statements Defendant made to the police as evidence of guilt of murder in the second degree.
