State v. Sayles

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions after concluding that any error in admitting his cell phone and stored data was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. It declined to decide the defendant’s constitutional challenges because the properly admitted evidence—including surveillance footage, witness testimony, corroborating statements, physical evidence, and cell-site data—overwhelmingly established guilt and the phone evidence played only a minor role. No separate opinions were provided.
