The Court heard argument in three civil cases yesterday and have three more scheduled for today. There is one criminal case on the Friday docket and it's an important one. State v. Torey Adamcik involves a 16 year old who was convicted, along with another teenager, Brian Draper, of the first-degree murder of a classmate. Despite a total absence of any prior record, Torey was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. [Disclosure: I am one of Torey's attorneys.]
The sentence is challenged on appeal as is the sufficiency of the evidence at trial. There is also a Miranda issue, a prosecutorial misconduct issue and challenges to the district court's jury instructions.
