State v. Dunkelberger

The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s conviction for first-degree robbery, holding that sufficient evidence supported the conviction.On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court erroneously admitted a surveillance video of him and an accomplice the day before the robbery. Much of the evidence directly implicating Defendant was elicited from that accomplice. Defendant argued before the Supreme Court that, without the video, there was insufficient evidence to corroborate the accomplice’s testimony. The Supreme Court disagreed, holding that even if the admission of the video was error, the error was harmless because there was evidence independent of the surveillance video that tended to affirm the accomplice’s testimony and establish Defendant’s guilt.
