Nalls v. the State (two Cases)

Summary

The court affirmed the murder and related convictions of Sean Nalls and Montrella Baskin. It held that any error in giving an unrestricted justification instruction did not constitute plain error and that the instruction did not improperly comment on the evidence. The court also overruled precedent treating murder and hindering convictions as always mutually exclusive, concluding that Baskin's convictions could coexist because the evidence supported his participation in the murder and his later assistance to other participants.
