The State v. Tyrone J. King

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that the defendant's objection to the admission of evidence of his unrelated murder charge and pending McColl charges was preserved, that the trial court erred in admitting the unrelated murder charge without a proper Rule 404(b) and Rule 403 analysis, and that the error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, vacating the murder and weapons convictions and remanding for a new trial.
