Defendant Wakilii Brown was convicted on three counts of capital murder. The jury returned a death sentence. On appeal, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Defendant’s convictions and sentence. On appeal, Defendant challenged the admissibility of the testimony of a child witness and alleged that there was an error in the trial court’s instructions to the jury. Upon careful consideration of the trial court record, the Supreme Court found that the record did not support the conclusion that the child’s testimony should have been excluded. Furthermore, the Court did not commit plain error when instructing the jury. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the trial court’s conviction and Defendant’s sentence.
