McKinney v. State

Jack Holt, Jr., Chief Justice.

The appellant, Alex McKinney, was convicted of murder in the first degree for the shooting death of his girl friend, Lora Chapman, and sentenced to 40 years imprisonment.

On appeal, McKinney argues that: 1) the trial court erred in granting the jury’s request, during deliberation, to rehear the court reporter’s audio tape of a prosecution witness; and 2) the verdict was not supported by sufficient evidence. We disagree and affirm.

Since McKinney’s second contention is that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the verdict, we will consider it first.
