State v. Mabior

Summary

The court affirmed Mabior’s convictions for two counts of first degree murder and two firearm offenses, concluding that the challenged evidence and prosecutorial conduct either were proper or did not amount to plain error. Most ineffective-assistance claims were rejected on the existing record, while several could not be resolved on direct appeal because the record was inadequate. The court modified the murder sentences from “life without the possibility of parole” to life imprisonment because the former sentence was unauthorized.
