Scott v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his convictions for malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony in connection with the fatal shooting of the victim. Defendant challenged his conviction on multiple grounds: that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdicts; that the prosecutor made improper statements in closing argument; that the trial court failed to cure the prejudice resulting from the prosecutor's improper statements; that a witness's immunity agreement was improperly sent to the jury during deliberations; that the trial court twice delivered improper Allen charges to the jury; that the trial court provided incomplete instructions regarding aggravated assault and the defense of alibi; that the trial court rendered ineffective assistance; and that the trial court erred in denying his motion for new trial. The court found the challenges were without merit and affirmed the judgment.
