State v. Thompson
Annotate this CaseDefendant Anthony Thompson was convicted of one count of murder and two counts of assault in the first degree. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial court applied the proper standard in admitting into evidence a statement to the police and a signed photographic array by a deceased eyewitness identifying Defendant as the shooter; (2) there was sufficient evidence to support the trial court's finding that Defendant had caused the death of the witness; and (3) even if the trial court improperly admitted evidence relating to the circumstances surrounding the death of the witness to show consciousness of guilt, the impropriety was harmless.
