Gobert v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Gobert’s convictions for felony murder, aggravated assault, and firearm offenses. It held that the evidence, including Gobert’s shooting at fleeing occupants and the weakness of his justification defenses, was sufficient; Gobert waived his right to attend bench conferences; and the record disproved his claim that jury selection and the charge conference were not transcribed. Any error in failing to rebuke the prosecutor was harmless, and the trial court acted within its discretion in denying a mistrial.
