Vehorn v. State

SULLIVAN, Justice.

Defendant Charles Vehorn was convicted of Murder and Auto Theft for shooting his girlfriend to death and stealing her car. He appeals, arguing that evidence of his stormy relationship with the victim was improperly admitted, that the vehicle was illegally searched, and that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction.
