Meadows v. State
Annotate this CaseFollowing a jury trial, Appellant Vadarian Meadows was found guilty of capital murder, residential burglary, and theft of property. For reversal, Appellant contended (1) the evidence was not sufficient to support his convictions because the State failed to corroborate his confession and the testimony of an accomplice, and (2) the capital murder and first-degree murder statutes were unconstitutionally vague because they were substantially identical and resulted in jury confusion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) because the evidence showed that the corroboration requirements were met, there was substantial evidence to support Appellant's convictions; and (2) Appellant's second contention was not preserved for appeal.
