Wilcox v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed Wilcox’s convictions and sentence, rejecting his claims concerning undisclosed exculpatory evidence, authentication of electronic data recorder evidence, and the foreseeability jury instruction. It held that Wilcox relied on speculation rather than showing suppressed Brady material, that the State presented sufficient circumstantial evidence to authenticate the recorder data, and that the foreseeability instruction correctly applied the governing causation statute. The foreseeability challenge was also forfeited because it was not raised below and did not satisfy plain-error review.
