State v. Goens
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions and sentences for felony murder, attempted aggravated robbery, and other offenses, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of several crimes. He was sentenced to a hard twenty-five for his felony murder conviction and to 142 months' imprisonment for the remainder of the charges, to be served consecutively. The Supreme Court affirmed both Defendant's convictions and his sentences, holding that the trial court (1) did not commit clear error by not providing the jury with a cautionary instruction regarding the credibility of accomplice testimony; and (2) did not abuse its discretion by ordering Defendant to serve his sentences consecutively.
