State v. Carridine
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Chaun Carridine was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder and sentenced to life in prison. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not err by rejecting Carridine's challenges to the State's exercise of two peremptory strikes; (2) any error by the district court in allowing the State to impeach Carridine through his prior statement did not substantially influence the jury's verdict, and therefore, the error, if any, was not prejudicial; (3) the district court did abuse its discretion in instructing the jury; (4) in the instances where there was or may have been prosecutorial misconduct, the misconduct was either harmless or did not affect Carridine's substantial rights, and therefore, the objected-to prosecutorial misconduct was harmless.
