Brewer v. State

ON DIRECT APPEAL

DeBRULER, Justice.

This case comes to us on direct appeal. Ind. Appellate Rule 4(A)(7). Appellant James D. Brewer was convicted of murder in a jury trial and the trial court imposed a sixty (60) year sentence. Appellant raises the follow-

ing issues for review: 1) whether appellant was competent to stand trial;

2) whether the trial court erred in admitting appellant's confession;

3) whether the evidence was sufficient, in light of appellant's self-defense claim, to sustain the conviction; and

4) whether the sentence imposed by the trial court was manifestly unreasonable.
