Harris v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Harris’s convictions, holding that the trial court properly denied his pretrial request for immunity based on self-defense because the evidence supported findings that his account was not credible and that he was not justified in using deadly force. The court also held that admitting an in-life photograph of the victim did not constitute plain error because, even assuming the claim was not affirmatively waived, the photograph did not affect Harris’s substantial rights in light of the brief testimony, benign image, and strong evidence of guilt.
