Wells v. State (Majority, with Dissenting)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of capital murder in furtherance of aggravated robbery and sentenced to a term of life imprisonment. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court, holding (1) there was substantial evidence to support the jury's verdict; and (2) Appellant failed to establish that the circuit court erred when it refused to instruct the jury with a disputed-accomplice liability instruction, as, even if the circuit court's failure to instruct the jury on the disputed-accomplice liability was error, Appellant failed to demonstrate that he was prejudiced by the circuit court's failure to give the instruction.
