Conway v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of capital murder and aggravated robbery. Defendant was sentenced to life without parole. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err by (1) failing to grant Defendant’s motion for a directed verdict, as the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions; (2) denying Defendant’s motion to suppress a statement Defendant made to police while he was in custody; (3) failing to grant a mistrial due to the State’s allegedly improper remarks during closing, as the unobjected-to statement was not prejudicial; and (4) giving a nonmodel jury instruction.
