State v. Robertson

After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder and other crimes. Defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of release. Defendant appealed, asserting a number of errors. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to support Defendant’s convictions; (2) the district court did not commit reversible error when it disallowed certain defense evidence offered at trial; (3) Defendant was not denied the effective assistance of trial counsel; (4) Defendant was not entitled to a sentencing hearing under Miller v. Alabama; and (5) Defendant’s claims offered in a pro se supplemental brief lacked merit. View "State v. Robertson" on Justia Law
