Peacock v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Peacock’s convictions and sentences after concluding that the evidence was sufficient, the search of his truck was authorized by a warrant for the home because the truck was closely connected to the home and located within its curtilage, and counsel was not ineffective for failing to pursue a meritless suppression theory. The court also held that the rule of lenity did not apply because aggravated cruelty to animals and cruelty to animals require different criminal conduct. No separate opinions were filed.
