State v. Robinson
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of murder. Defendant was sentenced to a term of fifty-five years in prison and ordered to pay restitution to the State Victims’ Compensation Fund. Defendant subsequently filed a motion for a new trial, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction and that the prosecutor engaged in impermissible misconduct during trial. The trial court denied Defendant’s motion for a new trial. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the court did not err in denying Defendant’s motion for a new trial based on its finding that the verdict was, to a high probability, not affected by the prosecutor’s misconduct; and (2) the trial court did not err in its responses to the jury’s request for a review of testimony.
