State v. Miller
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of second degree murder and aggravated assault for the death of his son. The circuit court sentenced Defendant to life imprisonment for the second degree murder. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court (1) did not err by denying Defendant’s motion for judgment of acquittal, as the evidence, including circumstantial evidence and reasonable inferences drawn therefrom, was sufficient to sustain a reasonable theory of guilt; and (2) did not err by allowing testimony of a witness who had conversed with Defendant in the county jail where the witness used a note to refresh his memory before he met with a law enforcement officer.
