The State, Respondent v. Felix Cheeseboro, Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed the convictions and sentences, rejecting challenges to the destruction of the firearm, the eyewitness identification, the admission and exclusion of various impeachment and other-act evidence, and the State's nondisclosure of information concerning a witness. It held that the firearm was not destroyed in bad faith and that comparable evidence remained available; the identification was sufficiently reliable; and the evidentiary rulings did not constitute reversible error. The court acknowledged that admitting the rap lyrics was erroneous but found the error harmless because other properly admitted evidence demonstrated the same character trait.
