Turner v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of aggravated robbery and theft of property. The total sentence imposed was life imprisonment. On appeal, Appellant argued that the trial court erred in denying his directed-verdict motions challenging the sufficiency of the evidence to support the aggravated robbery and theft-of-property charges. Specifically, Appellant contended, among other things, that the identification evidence was “shaky" and that there was no proof that he was involved in the crimes. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions, and therefore, the circuit court did not err in denying Appellant’s directed-verdict motions.
