Thompson v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted and sentenced for one count each of first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, felony theft, and misdemeanor theft. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed and remanded in part, holding (1) Appellant failed to preserve for appeal his argument that the circuit court erred in denying his motion to suppress an out-of-court identification made pursuant to a photographic lineup because the photographic lineup was unduly suggestive; (2) the circuit court did not err in failing to conduct a hearing following an ex parte communication with a juror; but (3) the trial court erred in sentencing Appellant.
