State v. Brown

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for felony murder and carrying a pistol or revolver without a permit. It held that the circumstantial evidence permitted the jury to find that the defendant intended to deprive the victim of marijuana, committed larceny by withholding it, and used or threatened force to overcome resistance to the taking. The court also rejected the prosecutorial-impropriety claims that it reached, while declining to address claims tied exclusively to the vacated manslaughter conviction.
