Biggerstaff v. State

GIVAN, Chief Justice.

Appellant was charged on a two-count indictment. Count One was for murder and Count Two was for arson. He was tried before a jury and convicted on both counts. He was sentenced to a forty (40) year term of imprisonment on the murder charge and to a twenty (20) year term on the arson count, the sentences to run concurrently.

Appellant contends the trial court erred by denying his Motion for Judgment on the Evidence made following presentation of the State's case. He also contends the verdict is contrary to the evidence.
