Berry v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Berry’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses, holding that the trial court properly denied his motion for a directed verdict. The jury was authorized to find that the State’s principal witness was not an accomplice, so corroboration was not required, and the evidence was sufficient under the applicable standard. Berry’s ineffective-assistance claim was waived because he did not specifically raise the alleged hearsay- objection issue in his motion for new trial or at the hearing.
