7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Todd Saxon v. Jacqueline Lashbrook, Warden,
Case No.: 15-3365
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and BAUER and SYKES, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence
In 2005, petitioner-appellant Todd Saxon was convicted in Illinois state court of first degree murder, arson, and concealment of homicide. The Illinois Appellate Court affirmed his conviction. After his state court appeals were exhausted, Saxon filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, raising a number of claims, including that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. The district court denied the petition. We affirm.
