Young v. State

ISHEE, J.,

for the Court:

Young argues that the Wayne County Circuit Court erred by (1) denying his attorney’s attempts to impeach a hostile witness during direct examination, (2) denying his proffered jury instruction on imperfect self-defense jury, (3) denying his motion for a directed verdict and motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV); and (4) denying his motion for a new trial.
