State v. Brinkman

Summary

The court affirmed Brinkman’s aggravated-murder convictions and three death sentences after rejecting his challenges to the sentencing proceedings, plea and jury-waiver colloquies, indictment, evidence, and aggravated-burglary conviction. It held that any sentencing misstatements or evidentiary errors were forfeited, harmless, or cured by the court’s independent review, and that the evidence and sentencing opinion otherwise supported the judgment.
