Duncan v. State

The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s conviction of capital murder, holding that no reversible error occurred in this case.On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court erred in allowing Latrenda Gibson, a witness to the crime, to testify and, in the alternative, in denying his motion for a continuance. Specifically, Defendant argued that the trial court’s rulings on this issue were erroneous due to the late disclosure of the State’s intent to have Gibson testify. The Supreme Court denied relief, holding that, under the circumstances of this case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by allowing Gibson to testify or by denying Defendant’s request for a continuance.
