2010AP2800 State v. Jackson

Listen to this article

Criminal Procedure
Waiver; jury selection; evidentiary rulings

Earnest Jean Jackson appeals from the order of the circuit court that denied his motion for postconviction relief. Jackson argues that: (1) the circuit court erred when it denied his motion without a hearing; (2) the jury selection was racially discriminatory; (3) the court erred when it allowed the State to introduce photos of the mutilated corpse of the victim; (4) the State engaged in prosecutorial misconduct; (5) the State tampered with witnesses; (6) Jackson was denied his due process right to confront witnesses; (7) the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict; and (8) Jackson’s prosecution violated his right to be free from double jeopardy. We conclude that the issues are either procedurally barred or lack merit, and we affirm the circuit court’s order. This opinion will not be published.
