State v. Williams

Summary

The court upheld the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the murder and firearm-possession convictions, concluding that conflicting physical evidence created a credibility issue for the jury rather than a physical impossibility. It nevertheless reversed because the trial court evaluated the defendant’s proposed expert testimony about surveillance footage under the wrong legal standard, and the error was not harmless. The court also held that the trial court properly admitted limited gunshot-residue evidence. No separate opinions were filed.
