Reid v. State (Majority, with Dissenting)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Appellant's two capital murder convictions, a firearm enhancement, and Appellant's sentence of death, holding that Appellant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
Specifically, the Court held that the circuit court (1) did not abuse its discretion in limiting Appellant's use of hypotheticals during voir dire; (2) did not abuse its discretion in concluding that a juror that Appellant argued should have been struck for cause could perform the duties of a juror; (3) did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellant's mistrial motion; (4) did not err in denying Appellant's request for an admonition; (5) did not abuse its discretion in allowing the State to play a tape recording of a 911 call; (5) did not err in admitting an aggravating circumstance to the jury; and (6) did not abuse its discretion in allowing the State's argument, during closing, that the jury should consider the victim-impact testimony as an aggravator.
