State v. Frazier

John Boyd Frazier was convicted and sentenced for the offenses of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and armed robbery.1 The court of appeals affirmed Frazier’s murder conviction, but held Frazier was entitled to a directed verdict on the armed robbery charge and reversed the conviction. State v. Frazier, 375 S.C. 575, 654 S.E.2d 280 (Ct.App.2007). We hold the trial court properly denied the motion for a directed verdict as to both charges, and reinstate the conviction and sentence for armed robbery. We, therefore, affirm in part and reverse in part.
