Carpenter v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Carpenter's convictions for felony murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. It held that the evidence was sufficient, that the trial court properly excluded collateral evidence offered to show a codefendant's motive, and that the conspiracy instruction was not misleading when considered with the charge as a whole. The court also found no evidentiary agreement barring testimony about the source of the firearms.
