Criminal Law Supreme Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

SC20721 - State v. Kyle A. (Burglary first degree; criminal mischief first degree; threatening second degree; “In the present appeal, the defendant contends that the Appellate Court incorrectly concluded that the trial court had not committed plain error when it failed to give a jury instruction identifying the crime that he allegedly intended to commit when he unlawfully entered or remained in the residence. We conclude that, although the trial court’s instruction did not conform to the language that this court has repeatedly endorsed, the trial court did not commit plain error. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the Appellate Court.”)
