Gail v. State

After a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of first-degree murder while committing a felony involving the unlawful sale of a controlled substance. The district court sentenced Appellant to life imprisonment with the possibility of release after serving a minimum of thirty years in prison. The Supreme Court affirmed Appellant’s conviction on direct appeal. This appeal concerned Appellant’s second petition for postconviction relief, in which he argued that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction. The postconviction court summarily denied Appellant’s petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the postconviction court did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellant’s postconviction petition without holding an evidentiary hearing. View "Gail v.
