King v. State

Carley, Chief Judge.

Appellant was tried before a jury and found guilty of rape and armed robbery. He appeals from the judgments of conviction and sentences that were entered by the trial court on the jury’s guilty verdicts.

1. In 1981, appellant pled guilty to charges of rape, armed robbery, and aggravated sodomy. The trial court correctly ruled that evidence of appellant’s commission of these previous crimes would be admissible in the instant case as similar transactions showing plan, scheme, pattern, bent of mind and identity.
