State v. Watt

Summary

The court affirmed Kevin Watt’s convictions and prison sentences, except that it modified the allocation of 448 days of presentence credit. It held that the evidence supported the murder, assault, weapons, and prohibited-person convictions; the jury instructions and prosecutor’s remarks did not constitute reversible or plain error; and the record either disproved or was insufficient to resolve Watt’s ineffective-assistance claims. The court ordered the credit applied to the consecutive first-degree-assault sentence rather than to the life sentence.
