View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court's response to jury question did not deny defendant right to impartial jury and fair trial but was direct answer to question posed; trial court did not apply law to evidence or instruct the jury on how to do so. Sentence imposed for murder was not disproportionate as, contrary to defendant's contention, he was not a passive participant.

View this case - free  

Overview: Sufficient evidence supported defendant's conviction of burglary, theft over $ 300, animal torture, and aggravated cruelty to companion animal. Accomplice's testimony regarding defendant's conduct was sufficient to support conviction, as jury was well aware of accomplice's criminal conduct, his guilty plea, and immunity he received.
