Bond v. Commonwealth
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of murder and sodomy in the first degree. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions, holding (1) the trial court did not err by denying Appellant’s motion to suppress a statement he gave to law enforcement officers; (2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to permit Appellant to play his entire statement for the jury; and (3) the trial court did not err by not denying Appellant’s motion for a directed verdict as to the sodomy charge, as there was sufficient corroborating proof to support Appellant’s confession to that crime.
