Baker v. State
Baker v. State
Opinion of the Court
Henry Lee Baker, IV, appeals the sentence imposed following his conviction for attempted second-degree murder. Baker, who was sixteen years old at the time of the offense and nineteen years old during sentencing, shot a police officer at an apartment complex. The jury found that the victim was a law enforcement officer engaged in the lawful performance of a legal duty, that Baker possessed and discharged a firearm, and that as a result, he inflicted great bodily harm. Baker is currently serving a fifty-four-year sentence.
In initially affirming Baker's sentence, this Court followed its precedent in Henry v. State,
Pursuant to the supreme court's decision in Lee v. State,
