State v. Showalter

Summary

The court affirmed Showalter’s convictions for two counts of premeditated first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and aggravated burglary. It held that most challenges to the autopsy photographs and all challenges to the coconspirator statements were unpreserved, that the one preserved photograph challenge failed on the merits, and that the State properly admitted the forensic pathologist’s deposition after establishing his unavailability. Because no individual error was shown, cumulative error was unavailable.
