State v. Wofford

The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s convictions for unlawful discharge of a firearm and use of a weapon to commit a felony and the sentences imposed of twenty to thirty years for unlawful discharge of a firearm and an additional term of imprisonment for twenty to thirty years for use of a weapon to commit a felony, to run consecutively to each other. The court held (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion when it sustained the State’s motion to consolidate Defendant’s trial with that of his codefendant; (2) the district court did not err when it overruled Defendant’s Batson challenge to the jury selection process; (3) the district court did not abuse its discretion when it allowed the jury access to surveillance video during deliberations; (4) the evidence was sufficient to support Defendant’s convictions; and (5) the district court did not impose excessive sentences.
