State v. Reece
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, possession of a weapon by a restricted person, and obstruction of justice. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial court erred in denying Defendant’s request for lesser-included-offense jury instructions on several variants of unintentional homicide, but the error was harmless; (2) the trial court did not err by preventing Defendant from asking twelve questions during voir dire; (3) evidence that Defendant was arrested with a stolen rifle in his car one month after the murder was properly admitted; and (4) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to sever the weapons charge from the other charges.
