Thompson v. State (Majority, with Concurring and Dissenting)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the circuit court convicting Appellant of two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, and other crimes and sentencing him to three counts of life imprisonment and one term of fifty years to run consecutively, holding that the circuit court did not err in denying Appellant's motion for mistrial.
On appeal, Appellant argued that the circuit court erred in denying his motion for mistrial because certain testimony was so prejudicial that no admonition to the jury could have cured it. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the testimony did not warrant a mistrial.
