State v. Horton

Summary

The court affirmed Horton's convictions for aggravated battery and felony murder. It held that the proffered statement was inadmissible double hearsay because Horton failed to establish an exception for each layer, that circumstantial evidence was sufficient to support both convictions, and that the prosecutor's challenged questioning and arguments neither shifted the burden of proof nor misstated the evidence. Because the court found no individual error, it also rejected cumulative error.
