Breeden v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
After a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of the rape of his minor daughter and sentenced to life imprisonment. The attorney appointed to represent Appellant on appeal of the conviction filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a no-merit brief. Appellant submitted a pro se response, setting forth issues he believed warranted a reversal of his conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed Appellant's conviction and granted counsel's motion to withdraw, holding (1) the trial court did not err in denying Appellant's motion for directed verdict; (2) the trial court did not err in overruling Appellant's objection to the admission of certain photographs of the victim; and (3) Appellant's remaining allegations of error were not preserved for review.
