Leach v. State
Annotate this Case
Appellant Raymond Leach was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. On appeal, Appellant claimed five points warranted reversal of his conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err (1) in denying Appellant's motion for directed verdict on capital murder, as there was sufficient evidence for the jury to support the conviction; (2) in denying Appellant's motion to suppress his custodial statement, as the statement was freely and voluntarily given; and (3) by allowing a law-enforcement officer to testify regarding his personal observation at the crime scene. The Court held that the remainder of Appellant's arguments were not preserved for appellate review.
