Hoosierbuck Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Just found out today that the court of appeals affirmed the conviction in my cold case murder from last February! I am jacked! I knew they would, but still, it's very gratifying to see in print. This link has the decision: http://www.ai.org/judiciary/opinions/pdf/03081002ebb.pdf Normally evidence of other crimes and misconduct does not come in at a trial for a different crime, but there are exceptions. For example, where one crime is strikingly like another such that one person likely committed both. That was the case here. This was the oldest cold case trial/conviction on record in St. Joe County. Murder in 1981, trial in 2009. You may remember me being all fired up about it then. This is the icing on that cake. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stcif Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Great job! I think the criminal history of a defendant should be projected on a large screen throughout the entire trial for the jurors to stare at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
