Holt v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Gregory Holt was convicted of aggravated residential burglary and first-degree domestic burglary. Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment on the aggravated residential burglary charge and forty years on the first-degree domestic battery charge, with the sentences to run concurrently. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the circuit court correctly denied Appellant's directed-verdict motion as there was sufficient evidence to support his aggravated residential burglary conviction; (2) the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in permitting Appellant to be shackled in front of the jury as the restraints were reasonably necessary to maintain order and security in the courtroom; and (3) Appellant's remaining arguments were not preserved for appellate review.
