State v. Campbell
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s conviction of first-degree premeditated murder of his wife and his sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for fifty years, holding that there was no reversible error in the trial proceedings.
Specifically, the Court held (1) Defendant did not appropriately object to the State’s attempt to rehabilitate a jailhouse informant’s credibility; (2) the district court did not err in admitting testimony from another witness who described Defendant as controlling of his wife; (3) the district court did not err in failing to instruct the jury on heat of passion voluntary manslaughter; and (4) no cumulative error occurred.
