Description
The primary problem the court must address in this case, an appeal by Mark Justice from his conviction for the crime of aggravated robbery, is his claim of lack of relevancy of evidence of collateral misconduct which he contends was admitted improperly, preventing him from having a fair trial. The several matters of accused evidence (which include testimony about events other than collateral misconduct) related to evidence of his theft of fishing tackle prior to the charged armed robbery; the prior forgery of a check of the robbery victims; testimony concerning his desire to kill the victims to assure that they could not later testify that they had recognized him at the crime scene; testimony of an accomplice about the reactions of robbery victims; and testimony from the victims about the impact of crime on them. In addition, questions are raised concerning the propriety of the limiting instruction that the court gave to the jury; the chilling of presentation by Justice of evidence that he had no prior felony convictions; whether there was any possibility that the admission of the accused evidence constituted harmless error; and whether the doctrine of cumulative error should be invoked to reverse the conviction. The court is satisfied from an analysis of this record, in light of the pertinent law, that no reversible error was committed, and the judgment and sentence is affirmed.
