State v. Martin
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for the premeditated killing of Robert Thunderhawk. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the circuit court’s decision to admit into evidence a recording of a 911 call and in allowing two officers to testify about several out-of-court statements made by Defendant was not arbitrary or outside the range of permissible choices; and (2) there was sufficient evidence in the record for a jury to have concluded that Defendant acted with premeditation.
