State v. Perry
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions of two counts of murder in the second degree and the imposition of two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
Answering special verdict forms, the jury found that Defendant committed one of the two murders as a principal and accomplice and the other murder as an accomplice. During sentencing, the trial court enhanced each of Defendant's prison terms beyond the ordinary statutory maximum and ran those sentences consecutively. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the jury's verdict was not irreconcilably inconsistent; and (2) the trial court did not unlawfully enhance Defendant's two second-degree murder prison terms.
