Indiana Supreme Court
Charles Moore, Appellant (defendant Below) v. State of Indiana, Appellee (plaintiff Below)
March 24, 20152015 Ind. LEXIS 234
Summary
The Indiana Supreme Court affirmed Moore’s murder and felony-murder convictions and sentences, rejecting his claim that inconsistent testimony triggered the incredible dubiosity rule. The rule applies only in limited circumstances involving a sole witness whose testimony is inherently contradictory, equivocal, or coerced, with no corroborating circumstantial evidence. Multiple witnesses, corroborating testimony, and physical evidence connected Moore to the shootings, allowing a reasonable jury to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
