Smith v. Commonwealth

Opinion

ELDER, J.

Leroy Dowdy Smith appeals from convictions for abduction, robbery, attempted murder, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Smith claims that the trial court erred (1) in refusing to grant his proffered instruction on fingerprint evidence; (2) in refusing to admit the prior inconsistent written statement of an accomplice; (3) in allowing the accomplice to testify as to which of his statements was truthful; and (4) in finding sufficient evidence to sustain the convictions. For the reasons stated herein, we affirm the ruling of the trial court.
