The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions for first-degree premeditated murder, attempted first-degree murder, and kidnapping, holding that there was no error in the proceedings below.

The Supreme Court affirmed his convictions, holding (1) the district court did not improperly join Defendant's and his codefendant's cases for trial and did not erroneously refuse to sever the cases once the trial was underway; (2) the prosecutor did not commit misconduct during closing arguments; and (3) Defendant was not entitled to relief as to the claims he raised in a pro se supplemental brief.
