Turbo v. State (Majority, with Concurring)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of rape, holding that none of Defendant's arguments on appeal entitled him to a reversal of his conviction.
On appeal, Defendant did not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence but did challenge other aspects of the trial court's rulings. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court (1) did not err when it accepted the State's race-neutral justification for striking an African American juror; and (2) did not err when it barred an inquiry into the victim's prior allegations of sexual assault and psychiatric records from a private behavioral hospital.
