State v. Adams

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed Jeffrey Adams' first degree murder conviction and life sentence, but modified the sentence to remove 599 days of credit for time served. The court held that prior domestic-abuse evidence was properly admitted, the evidence was sufficient to prove premeditation, and the trial court properly refused a self-defense instruction and denied a change of venue. The court also found no abuse of discretion in admitting the prior-acts evidence or denying the venue motion.
