State v. Armadore
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the appellate court affirming Defendant's conviction of murder as either a principal or as an accessory, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on any of his allegations of error.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the appellate court abused its discretion by denying him permission to file a supplemental brief to raise a new claim pursuant to Carpenter v. United States, __ U.S. __ (2018) and incorrectly determined that his hearsay claim regarding the testimony of a key state witness was unpreserved. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the appellate court should have granted Defendant's motion to file a supplemental brief, but any error was harmless; and (2) the trial court properly admitted the challenged testimony as nonhearsay and, alternatively, any error was harmless.
