State v. Marshall
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree murder. The court of appeals reversed, concluding (1) the State violated Appellant’s Sixth Amendment right to counsel by acquiring incriminating evidence through a jailhouse informant when Defendant was represented by counsel, and the error was not harmless; and (2) the trial court’s instructions on aiding and abetting and joint criminal conduct were not supported by substantial evidence. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and vacated in part the court of appeals’ decision and reversed in part the trial court’s judgment, holding that the trial court erred in overruling Defendant’s motion to suppress as to one of the jailhouse informants.
