Duncan v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s conviction of capital murder and life sentence without the possibility of parole as required by law, holding that there was no reversible error in the proceedings below.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court erred by allowing a witness to the crime to testify and, in the alternative, in denying his motion for a continuance. Defendant argued specifically that the trial court erred as regards this issue due to the relatively late disclosure of the State’s intent to have the witness testify. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that, under the circumstances, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by allowing the witness to testify or by denying Defendant’s request for a continuance.
