Wade v. the State.

Summary

The court upheld Wade's convictions, concluding that the evidence was sufficient and that the trial court did not commit reversible error in its jury instructions, evidentiary rulings, admission of expert testimony, or handling of a witness-threat postcard. It held that the aggravated-battery count based on rendering the victim's liver useless merged with malice murder for sentencing purposes. The court therefore affirmed in part, vacated in part, and remanded for resentencing.
