State v. Heller

Following a jury trial, Christopher Heller was convicted of murder and assault and battery with intent to kill (ABWIK). Heller appeals, asserting the trial court erred in (1) allowing him to be impeached with his prior drug convictions pursuant to Rule 609(a)(1), SCRE, because the probative value of his drug convictions substantially outweighed their unduly prejudicial effect, (2) refusing to declare a mistrial where a witness made reference to Heller being on parole, and (3) refusing to grant an in camera hearing on the admissibility of a witness’s voice identification of Heller. We affirm.
