State v. Thomas

HIGGINS, Judge.

David DeWaine Thomas was convicted by a jury of first degree murder committed while in the perpetration of robbery, § 559.-007, Laws 1975, and his punishment was fixed at life imprisonment. Defendant waived his right to file a motion for new trial, and judgment was entered pursuant to the verdict. Defendant was granted leave to file notice of appeal out of time by the court of appeals and the case was transferred prior to opinion. At issue are the admissibility of defendant’s confession and the constitution of the jury. Affirmed.
