Today at the Court

Today the Court will rehear the case of State v. Pina. In the Court’s original opinion, issued last July, Justice W. Jones and Justice pro tem Kidwell found that the district court's felony-murder jury instruction was reversible error. Justice Burdick and Justice Horton dissented. Justice J. Jones agreed with much of the dissent, but agreed with the lead opinion that the instruction was reversible error.
