Sorge v. State

Henry J. Sorge, Appellant, challenges his conviction and sentence for first-degree murder and raises two issues on appeal. First, Appellant alleges that the trial court erred in denying a continuance for the purpose of evaluating his sanity at the time of the offense. Second, Appellant alleges that the trial court erred in denying defense counsel’s motion for judgment of acquittal based on insufficient evidence of premeditation. We find merit as to the first issue and reverse and remand for a new trial, but find the second issue merit-less and affirm as to it without further comment.
