State v. Soto
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of aiding and abetting first-degree premeditated murder, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, and possession of marijuana. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not err in denying Defendant’s motion for new trial based on the State’s failure to disclose a plea agreement with the codefendant, as the plea agreement would not have changed the course of the trial by making the codefendant available to testify at trial; and (2) the district court’s failure to give a second-degree murder jury instruction was not clearly erroneous.
