State v. Campbell
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the court of appeals vacating the judgment of the superior court sentencing Defendant at the Class B1 felony level in connection with his conviction of second-degree murder, holding that the trial court properly sentenced Defendant at the Class B1 level.
In 2019, Defendant was convicted of second-degree murder. At issue was whether Defendant should have been sentenced at the lower Class B2 felony level given the jury's conclusion that Defendant acted, in part, with depraved-heart malice. The Supreme Court reversed Defendant's sentence, holding that, under the circumstances, the jury's completed verdict form was not ambiguous, and Defendant was properly sentenced at the Class B1 level.
