State of Idaho, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Azad Haji Abdullah, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed Abdullah’s convictions, sentences, and dismissal of his post-conviction petition. In the portions shown, it held that the trial court acted within its discretion in denying funding for a DNA expert, that Abdullah waived his direct challenge to two jurors and failed to establish their actual bias for post-conviction purposes, that substantial evidence supported the convictions, that the willfully instruction did not constitute fundamental error, and that the victim’s out-of-court statements were properly admitted. No separate opinions were issued.
