State v. Onyelobi
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder on an accomplice-liability theory. The district court sentenced Defendant to life imprisonment without the possibility of release. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not err in denying Defendant’s motion to suppress evidence seized as a result of her arrest, as the arrest was supported by probable cause; (2) the district court did not err in overruling Defendant’s challenges to the State’s peremptory strikes of certain jurors under Batson v. Kentucky; (3) the district court did not abuse its discretion when instructing the jury on accomplice liability; and (4) Defendant’s pro se contentions lacked merit.
