State v. Branham
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Charles Branham was found guilty of mitigated deliberate homicide for the fatal stabbing of Miachel Kinross-Wright and was sentenced to forty years' incarceration without the possibility of parole. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to admit evidence offered by Branham to show Kinross-Wright's propensity for violence where the evidence was unknown to Branham at the time of the stabbing; (2) Branham failed to demonstrate that the prosecutor made improper comments during trial and that he was denied a fair trial; and (3) the district court provided sufficient reasons for limiting parole eligibility.
