People v. Jackson
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of the first degree murder of Monique Cleveland, the willful, deliberate, and premeditated attempted murder of Robert Cleveland, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. After a penalty retrial, the jury returned a verdict of death on the murder conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that (1) any error on the trial court’s part in ordering Defendant to wear a stun belt during his trial was harmless because there was no reasonable possibility that Defendant would have received a more favorable verdict had the trial court not required him to wear a stun belt; (2) the evidence was sufficient to support Defendant’s convictions; and (3) the trial court did not commit reversible error in its rulings during the penalty retrial.
