State v. Colson
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions for felony murder, intentional second-degree murder, felony theft of a firearm, felony theft of a vehicle, and burglary, holding that there was no error in the proceedings below.
On appeal, Defendant raised three arguments attacking the sufficiency of the State's evidence supporting his convictions. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the evidence, viewed in a light most favorable to the State was sufficient to support the convictions, and the jury was not required to stack inferences in convicting Defendant; and (2) the district court did not err in denying Defendant's request for a lesser included offense instruction on voluntary manslaughter.
