State v. McCorkendale

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Davis, J.:

Scott McCorkendale was convicted and sentenced for the first-degree premeditated murder of 15-year-old Rogelio Herrera. On appeal, the defendant claims error in the admission of his statements to police because they were involuntary and admitted in violation of his Miranda rights. He further claims that the trial court’s allowing the prosecutor to argue transferred intent as well as prosecutorial misconduct requires reversal. We conclude that no reversible error occurred and affirm.

Herrera died instantly of a single gunshot wound to the head.…
