State v. Davis
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction for first degree murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, and use of a deadly weapon other than a firearm to commit a felony, holding that there was no basis for reversal.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the information was insufficient to charge him with conspiracy, there was insufficient evidence to convict him, and the State erroneously impeached its own witness. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the State satisfied the overt act requirement by alleging the substantive offense that was the object of the conspiracy as the overt act; (2) the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions; and (3) even assuming the prosecution improperly impeached its witness, any error was harmless.
