Marchman v. State

The evidence was sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of guilt and to warrant the defendants' convictions, either as a perpetrator who directly committed the crimes or as a party to the crimes, in connection with a crime spree that resulted in the deaths of two victims.

Appellants Joshua Marchman and Joshua Arnold were involved, along with another perpetrator, in a crime spree on the evening of July 9 into the morning hours of July 10, 2009, that resulted in the shooting deaths of Nicholas Garner and Lateisha Weatherspoon. Appellants were tried jointly before a jury and both were found guilty of the crimes with which they were charged, including two counts of malice murder.1 We affirm the convictions for the reasons set forth below.

Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence presented at trial showed that in the weeks prior to the evening when these crimes occurred, Marchman, Arnold, and Isaiah Walker, who was also a party to the crimes but who took his own life to avoid apprehension, were engaged in a dispute with Dimitri Hunter and some of his friends, including victims Nicholas Garner and Brandon Cox. Hunter, Garner, and certain others performed in a rap group together and would flash wads of cash during their performances at local clubs and on videos that were available for review on YouTube.
