His appeal includes:

This  case  arises  from  events  that  occurred  on  December  10,  2007,  in  Saginaw,  Michigan.    According  to  the  testimony  of  witnesses,  including  that  of  Darell  Hewitt,  who  agreed  to  testify  “truthfully  and  completely  .  .  .  about  the  events that occurred December 10th, 2007,” he, defendant, Caprice Mack, Dquan Favorite,  Arnell  Johnson,  Jeremy  Williamson  and  Deshawn  Christopher  were  drinking  and  playing  games  at  a  house  on  Sanford  Street  when  Tonya  Wilson’s  car was burned.  

Travis Crowley testified that his girlfriend, April Johnson, called him and told him that her mom’s car “got blew up.”  Crowley said that Mack got on the phone and told him that “some boys had blew up Tonya[’s] car, so . . . they said that they was gonna take care of it.” According  to  Hewitt,  after  Wilson’s  car  burned,  defendant  and  Favorite  discussed retaliating against persons at a duplex located at 1622 Farwell Street in Saginaw because they thought Ronell Hinley had burned the car. 

Hewitt said that the  group  planned  “to  set  the  [Farwell]  car  on  fire”  and  “to  shoot  anybody  that  come  [sic]  out  of  the  house.”    Hewitt  testified,  however,  that  there  was  no  agreement to set fire to the house or to kill anyone. The  evidence  indicated  that  defendant,  Hewitt,  Favorite,  Mack,  Johnson  and Williamson went to the house at Farwell to set the car on fire, but they failed to  successfully  do  so.    The  men  returned  to  the  house  on  Sanford  and  then  defendant,  Hewitt,  Favorite,  Mack  and  Christopher  made  a  second  trip  to  the  Farwell  house.    Defendant  and  Mack  went  into  the  garage  with  containers  of  gasoline and then ran out.  This time, the car in the Farwell house garage was set on fire.  There was evidence that Hewitt and Favorite had guns and that as the fire at  the  Farwell  house  spread  from  the  garage  to  the  house,  people  began  to  leave  the house, and Hewitt and Favorite shot at the people as they left 

Deontae T. Davis, 20; Jeremy T. Williamson, 19; Darell J. Hewitt, 17; and Arnell L. Johnson, 17, were all charged with this crime.

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.

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
