State v. Elders
Court of Appeals of South Carolina
Decided January 28, 2010No. 4648PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtGeathers, J.
Randy Elders appeals his convictions for armed robbery, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and two counts of kidnapping, arguing that the trial court erred by admitting certain photographs and knives into evidence. Elders further contends that the trial court erred in failing to grant his motion for a directed verdict with respect to his kidnapping charges. Specifically, he claims that, because he had previously pled guilty to carjacking, the Double Jeopardy Clause barred the State from charging him with kidnapping for the same incident. We affirm.
