Franklin v. State

BOEHM, Justice.

Jerray Franklin was convicted of the murder of his five-month-old son, Jerray Franklin II, the attempted murder of Eric Foster, the battery of Autumn Turner, and residential entry. He was sentenced to enhanced and consecutive sentences totaling 125 years. In this direct appeal he contends that (1) there was insufficient evidence to support his murder conviction; (2) the trial court committed fundamental error when it failed to instruct the jury on circumstantial evidence; and (3) his 125 year sentence is manifestly unreasonable. We affirm the trial court.
