Description
Defendant George Wesley Hamilton appeals his conviction of second degree murder, a first degree felony. Hamilton raises three claims of error: (i) insufficiency of the evidence to support the conviction; (ii) failure to instruct the jury on the nature and effect of fingerprint evidence; and (iii) improper admission of evidence concerning other violent acts by Hamilton. With regard to Hamiltons first two claims, we find no error. As to the third claim, although the trial court erred in admitting evidence of Hamiltons prior violent act during the States direct examination, we find the error harmless. We therefore affirm Hamiltons conviction.
