Williams v. State

The trial court properly denied the defendant's motion to suppress evidence of an impermissibly suggestive photographic lineup shown to the victims, since the victims were unable to make a positive identification of the defendant as the perpetrator from the photographic lineup and the evidence of defendant's guilt was overwhelming.

After a jury trial, Jerrell Williams was convicted of burglary and forgery arising from a home invasion robbery. The jury deadlocked on armed robbery charges, but Williams subsequently pled guilty to and was convicted of two lesser counts of robbery. Williams appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence as to the burglary conviction, the voir dire of a potential juror, the admission of evidence of a photographic lineup, the use of a prior conviction to impeach Williams’ trial testimony, the state’s closing argument, the replacement of a juror, the effectiveness of trial counsel, and the imposition of a recidivist sentence. However, there was overwhelming evidence of Williams’ guilt, and the other claims of error are without merit, constitute harmless error or were not preserved for appellate review. Accordingly, we affirm.

1. Sufficiency of the evidence.
