State v. Bouknight
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of murder, using a firearm in the commission of a felony, carrying a pistol without a permit, and criminal possession of a pistol or revolver. The trial court sentenced Defendant to seventy years of incarceration. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting a Facebook profile page and photographs. Specifically, Defendant argued that the evidence was not properly authenticated. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that, assuming, without deciding, that the trial court improperly admitted the evidence, any error relating to the admission of the evidence would have been harmless.
