State v. Allen
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court convincing Defendant of first degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) the evidence to sufficient to support the jury's verdicts; (2) there was no juror misconduct during deliberations when jurors allegedly discussed the reputation of the victim's family members and their potentially seeking revenge; (3) the trial court did not err by finding the averment of a juror about the disputed juror statements inadmissible under Neb. Rev. Stat. 27-606(2) and finding that the exception for "extraneous prejudicial information" did not apply to the juror's testimony; and (4) trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance of counsel.
