State v. Croka

CLARK, Presiding Judge.

Estus Calvin Croka, Sr. was convicted by a jury of second degree murder and a sentence of 29 years imprisonment was imposed. On this appeal, Croka contends that his conviction should be reversed because the evidence of corpus delecti was insufficient, a prejudicial exhibit was erroneously admitted in evidence over objection, there was an error in a verdict directing instruction and defense counsel’s examination of a witness was improperly restricted. The judgment is affirmed.

This is the second trial of Croka on this charge, a prior conviction having been reversed…
