State v. Jackson
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant John Jackson was convicted of murder. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of conviction, holding that the trial court did not err in denying (1) Defendant's motion to suppress certain evidence seized by the police without a search warrant, as Defendant had abandoned his expectation of privacy with respect to the seized items; (2) Defendant's motion to preclude certain evidence that the state had disclosed in an untimely manner, as Defendant established neither that there were exceptional circumstances requiring preclusion nor that he would have been prejudiced by the late disclosure; (3) Defendant's motion to suppress certain statements that he gave to the police, as Defendant was not in custody when he made the statements and the statements were voluntary; and (4) denying Defendant's request to give a jury instruction on third party culpability, as the evidence did not support the instruction.
