State v. Carey
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the appellate court affirming the trial court's judgment of conviction of murder, holding that the appellate court correctly concluded that any error relating to the admission of testimony from a witness called during the state's case on rebuttal was harmless.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the testimony of Mark Manganello, the witness at issue, fatally undermined her theory of self defense and that the testimony likely had a substantial effect on the jury's verdict. The Supreme Court disagreed, holding that the appellate court properly concluded that any evidentiary error committed by the trial court with respect to the admission of Manganello's testimony was necessarily harmless.
