State v. Solis
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder for the strangulation death of his former girlfriend. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of prior incidences of domestic battery and in instructing the jury and that the cumulative effect of the trial errors deprived him of a fair trial. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial court’s evidentiary rulings either were not in error or Defendant failed to preserve his allegations of error for appellate review; and (2) to the extent that instruction errors occurred, they did not prejudice Defendant or deprive him of a fair trial.
