Gibson v. State

The evidence that the defendant had attempted to tie the victim up and threatened to cut her with a knife the day before the murder, and that the victim was stabbed to death in the defendant's apartment while the defendant, the victim and the victim's unconscious mother were the only people present sufficiently supported the murder conviction.

Following a jury trial, Bobby D. Gibson appeals his convictions for the murder of Tasha Brown and the aggravated assault of her mother, Yvette Brown, contending that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict.1 For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.

Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the record shows that, in 2005, Gibson and Tasha ended their relationship, leaving Gibson distraught. Tasha moved out of the apartment she shared with Gibson and began living with her mother. On May 30, 2005, Tasha visited Gibson, and, while she was in the apartment, Gibson tried to tie Tasha to the bed. He also asked Tasha what she would do if he tried to cut her with a knife. Tasha left the apartment and told her mother what had transpired. The next day, May 31, 2005, Tasha arranged a time with Gibson for her to pick up a computer that was still in Gibson’s apartment. Tasha also coordinated the errand with her mother so Tasha would not be alone with Gibson. Throughout the day, Gibson repeatedly called Tasha’s mother to ensure that they were coming to the apartment, an act which Tasha’s mother found to be uncharacteristic and odd.
