Supreme Court of South Carolina

The State, Petitioner/respondent v. Michael Rochelle Wilson, Respondent/petitioner

April 23, 2001345 S.C. 1

Summary

The court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the defendant's conviction for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine. It held that appellate review of the trial court's admission of other-bad-acts evidence is deferential, and that the testimony describing a prior drug transaction was supported by evidence, logically relevant to intent, and not unfairly prejudicial. There were no separate opinions.
