Peavy v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Peavy’s convictions for felony murder, aggravated assault, and firearm possession. It held that the verdict form and jury instructions did not improperly require sequential consideration of voluntary manslaughter, the trial court properly excluded the proposed defense expert testimony under the governing expert-evidence standard, and the verdicts were not legally repugnant because the record did not reveal contradictory affirmative jury findings.
