Wingate — Expert testimony and incorrect statutory citation did not require a new trial

/

The Supreme Court reversed on both points. Even assuming portions of the expert testimony crossed the line, Wingate could not show plain error—that the jury probably would have reached a different result without it. The indictment’s factual allegations and the circumstances gave adequate notice despite the incorrect statutory citation.

Norris — Total circumstances supported constructive possession of firearm

/

The Supreme Court held that the Court of Appeals failed to view the evidence in the light most favorable to the State. Occupancy, proximity, control of the premises, and Norris’s suspicious movement together supplied incriminating circumstances from which a jury could find constructive possession. The Court reversed and remanded for consideration of remaining appellate issues.
