State v. Craft
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part the judgment of the district court denying Defendant's request to provide a jury instruction on th lesser-included offense of mitigated deliberate homicide and the ensuing sentencing order and judgment for felony deceptive practices, holding that there was insufficient evidence to support Defendant's conviction of deceptive practices.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court erroneously refused his request to provide a jury instruction on the lesser-included offense of mitigated deliberate homicide and that insufficient evidence supported the jury's guilty verdict as to his felony deceptive practices conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Defendant's first claim of error was unavailing; and (2) the evidence was legally insufficient to convict Defendant of felony deceptive practices, and therefore, acquittal on this count was proper.
