Warner v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the circuit court convicting Defendant of raping six-year-old M.H. and sentencing him to an enhanced sentence of life imprisonment without parole, holding that there was no prejudicial error.
On appeal, Defendant argued that substantial evidence did not support the conviction, the circuit court abused its discretion in admitting evidence of prior bad acts under the pedophile exception, and that the circuit court abused its discretion in admitting M.H.'s recorded statement. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that there was no error on the part of the circuit court.
