Wallace v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the circuit court entering judgment upon a jury verdict finding Defendant guilty of rape and sentencing him to life in prison, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
On appeal, Defendant argued, among other things, that the State intentionally circumvented his right to confront vital witnesses by improperly allowing into evidence a surreptitious recording made by Defendant's roommate and that the recording contained inadmissible hearsay. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to support the rape conviction; and (2) the circuit court did not err in admitting the recording into evidence.
