Sanders v. State; Thomas v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendants appealed convictions related to the starvation and extreme malnourishment of their infant son. The court held that evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt that both defendants were guilty of the crimes for which they were convicted. The court also held that defendants waived their claim of prosecutorial misconduct when the prosecutor elicited testimony during cross-examination of a medical expert because neither defendant made any objection at the time of the testimony. The court further held that defendants failed to meet their burden of demonstrating ineffective assistance of counsel. Accordingly, the judgment was affirmed.
