Mcconnell Adams is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Mcconnell Adams was convicted by Jury in Oakland County of Homicide - Murder First Degree-Premeditated and Felony Murder. His appeal includes: Defendant was tried with his codefendant, Anitra Coomer  , before separate juries in the Oakland Circuit Court in October 1997.   The facts surrounding the death of Dr. Deborah Iverson have been set forth in detail in the companion case, People v. Coomer, 245 Mich.App 206, 627 N.W.2d 612 (2001), and we see no need to restate those facts here.   Defendant's and codefendant Coomer's trial lasted ten days, although much of the testimony was presented to codefendant Coomer's jury only.   There was virtually no physical evidence linking defendant to the murder, as there was with codefendant Coomer.   Thus, this case focuses on the propriety of the admission of defendant's videotaped confession into evidence.

Dalephenia Reanita Jones is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Dalephenia Reanita Joneswas convicted by Jury in Wayne County of Homicide - Felony Murder. This was the one and only charge which was committed during an attempted theft of money. Her appeal includes: Defendant  was  convicted  of  first-degree  felony  murder,  MCL  750.316;  MSA  28.548,  and  sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.  He appeals as of right.  We affirm. Defendant killed a woman while trying to steal her money.  He said he accidentally stabbed the victim during a struggle after she pulled a knife.  Defendant argues that the court erred by not instructing the jury on the theory of “imperfect self defense,” which may have supported a conviction on the lesser offense of manslaughter.  See People v Kemp, 202 Mich App 318, 323; 508 NW2d 184 (1993).  We disagree.  Defendant did not ask that the jury be instructed on manslaughter as a lesser offense, and he expressed  satisfaction  with

Debra Lynne Smith is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Debra Lynne Smith was convicted by Jury in Oakland County of Homicide - Open Murder - Statutory Short Form. Her appeal includes: The challenged evidence that defendant had acted violently toward the victim in the past, that  defendant  had  exhibited  jealousy  of  the  victim,  and  that  the  victim  was  afraid  of  defendant  and wanted to get away from defendant was relevant for a proper purpose—to show defendant’s motive for killing the victim.  See also Fisher, supra at 543.  Evidence that defendant threatened the victim in the past is highly probative of motive, such that its probative value outweighs any prejudicial effect of admitting the evidence. People v Armentero, 148 Mich App 120, 133; 384 NW2d 98 (1986).  Additionally, evidence that defendant owned and was familiar with a handgun was  relevant  to  show  defendant’s  opportunity  to  commit  the  crime  and  to  show  absence  of  mistake  o

This was featured on Oygen's Snapped. Her appeal includes: Defendant’s convictions arise from the murder of her boyfriend, Trenton Mallory, who was found shot to death in the home he shared with defendant.  On appeal, defendant’s sole argument is that there was insufficient evidence to support her conviction for first-degree murder because there was no evidence that she acted with premeditation and deliberation.  She contends that, at most, her actions were sufficient to support a second-degree murder conviction.
