Huff v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
A jury convicted Appellant of aggravated residential burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, terroristic threatening in the first degree, and battery in the second degree. Appellant appealed, arguing that the trial court erred in (1) denying his motion for a directed verdict to reduce the kidnapping charge from a Class Y felony to a Class B felony, and (2) admitting testimony concerning his previous uncharged conduct. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the evidence was sufficient for the jury to find Defendant guilty of kidnapping as a Class Y felony, and therefore, the circuit court did not err in denying Appellant's motion for a directed verdict; and (2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the testimony at the sentencing phase of the trial.
