McKie v. State
McKie v. State
Opinion of the Court
Antonio McKie and Robin Roberts abducted Mark Martin from a lounge. After an altercation, Roberts shot and killed Martin. McKie was convicted of kidnapping with bodily injury and felony murder and sentenced to concurrent sentences of life imprisonment.
1. Having reviewed the evidence in the light most favorable to the jury’s determination, we conclude that a rational trier of fact could have found the defendant guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
2. We find no error requiring reversal in the defendant’s remaining enumerations.
