| Topic: | Murder - Sufficiency of evidence |
| Summary of the Facts: | Eddie Saucier was convicted of murder and sentenced as a habitual offender to life imprisonment. He appeals. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Saucier challenges both the sufficiency of the evidence presented to establish his guilt and the weight assigned to the evidence by the jury. Viewing the evidence presented at trial in the light most favorable to the State, the testimony of two witnesses, as well as the presence of Saucier’s DNA at the crime scene to be sufficient evidence to allow a rational juror to conclude that the State proved each element of murder against Saucier. |
