Worthen v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Worthen’s felony-murder conviction, holding that the evidence permitted the jury to find that he intentionally encouraged or aided the shooter even though he did not fire the shots. The court also held that evidence of Worthen’s gang membership was admissible under Rule 404 (b) because it was relevant to motive and its probative value was not substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice.
