State v. Robinson
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of burglary and theft by unauthorized taking or transfer. Defendant was sentenced to two years and six months’ confinement on the burglary charge and a concurrent six-month sentence on the theft charge. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial court abused its discretion by allowing a witness to testify regarding the witness’s previous identification of Defendant in a now-unavailable surveillance video recording because the video was of poor quality and that the witness’s identification testimony was speculative and unreliable. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court’s admission of the testimony was not an abuse of discretion, nor was it so unfairly prejudicial as to virtually deprive Defendant of a fair trial.
