Munn v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Munn’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses. It held that the evidence supported malice, that no jury instruction on voluntary manslaughter or justification was required or warranted reversal, and that the remaining evidentiary, shackling, confession, and ineffective-assistance claims did not establish reversible error. The court concluded that the body-camera statements were admissible under the Confrontation Clause and hearsay rules, Munn’s intoxicated statements were voluntary, and any error concerning the jail-call evidence was harmless.
