Quintanar v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Quintanar’s convictions except that it vacated the aggravated-assault conviction and sentence that should have merged into the attempted-armed-robbery conviction. It held that Quintanar’s custodial statement was voluntary, any evidentiary and confrontation-related errors were harmless, the requested self-defense and mutual-combat instructions were unsupported by the evidence, and the unpreserved closing-argument claim was not reviewable. No separate opinions were issued.
