State v. Barrett

Mr. Corey D. Barrett (“Barrett”) was convicted in the Circuit Court of Jackson County (“trial court”) of one count second-*50degree felony murder, one count first-degree burglary, one count first-degree robbery, and two counts armed criminal action. On appeal, Barrett contends that the trial court erred in admitting into evidence the statement he gave to police after his arrest because it was not voluntarily made. Barrett also contends that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions for robbery and related armed criminal action. We affirm.
