Murray v. Commonwealth
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of complicity to commit murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, and tampering with physical evidence. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of conviction and sentence, holding (1) any error by the trial court in allowing certain testimony into evidence was harmless; (2) the trial court properly decided to try the murder charges in a single trial; (3) the trial court correctly refused to dismiss the tampering with physical evidence charges as unconstitutional; (4) the admission of testimony regarding alleged homosexual conduct between Defendant and his co-conspirator was appropriate; and (5) the trial court did not err by failing to instruct the jury on criminal facilitation to murder and robbery.
