Young v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his sentence and conviction involving murder, burglary, and related offenses. The court held that the trial court did not err by excusing potential jurors; convictions for eight of the alleged offenses were proper; defendant's contention that the trial court erred by allowing the prosecutor to state an incorrect interpretation of the law was without merit; the court rejected defendant's contention that a new trial was required because his conviction for malice murder as a party to the crime was mutually exclusive of his convictions of tampering with evidence; the trial court did not fail to instruct the jury on the manner by which he allegedly committed the aggravated assaults in Counts 11 and 12; any issues with regard to the felony murder counts was moot because defendant's felony conviction was vacated by operation of law; the trial court did not err in denying a motion for mistrial; the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for continuance; and the trial court had sufficient evidence to sentence defendant as a recidivist.
