State v. Carr
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of intentional and knowing murder. The trial court sentenced Defendant to thirty-five years in prison. Defendant appealed, arguing (1) the court erred in denying him a new trial based on the State's failure to produce exculpatory evidence, (2) the court violated the equal protection right of a juror removed from the panel given his inability to deliberate past 5:08 p.m. for religious reasons, and (3) there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, holding (1) Defendant received a fair trial in this matter; (2) there was no disparate treatment of the juror, and therefore, the juror's equal protection rights were not violated; and (3) there was no error in the trial court's entry of the judgment of conviction or its sentencing analysis.
