State v. Logsdon
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of intentional first-degree murder, felony murder, and related crimes. The district court imposed a life sentence with a minimum of fifty years for the first-degree murder conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s convictions but vacated his hard fifty life sentence, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to support Defendant’s convictions; (2) the district court did not err in denying Defendant’s motions for a mistrial, which asserted that Defendant had been prejudiced by the introduction of certain out-of-court statements; (3) assuming that the district court erred in instructing the jury on an aiding and theory, Defendant invited any error by requesting the instruction; and (4) Defendant’s hard fifty life sentence was improperly imposed in light of Alleyne v. United States. Remanded for resentencing.
