Walker v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Walker’s felony-murder conviction, holding that it had jurisdiction because his pro se motion for new trial became effective after the trial court made an on-the-record finding that he knowingly and voluntarily waived counsel and elected self-representation. The court also held that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient, that admission of the shell casing and related photographs did not violate the Confrontation Clause, and that Walker failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel. No separate opinions were filed.
