Morrell v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Morrell's convictions, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support his malice-murder conviction under the federal constitutional standard. The evidence placed Morrell at the shooting, showed that he fired the fatal shot, and supported the jury's rejection of justification and voluntary manslaughter theories. The court also held that deficiencies in transcripts of recorded exhibits did not violate due process because the appellate record was complete and Morrell identified no missing or materially inadequate portion of the record.
