COLEMAN v. STATE

No. 49S00-0002-CR-59.

750 N.E.2d 370 (2001)

Mark COLEMAN, Appellant (Defendant below), v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee (Plaintiff below).

Supreme Court of Indiana.

July 5, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lesa Lux Johnson, Indianapolis, IN, Attorney for Appellant.

Karen M. Freeman-Wilson, Attorney General of Indiana, Eileen Euzen, Deputy Attorney General, Indianapolis, IN, Attorneys for Appellee.


SULLIVAN, Justice.

Defendant Mark Coleman was convicted of murder for killing another man with a sawed-off shotgun. He argues that (1) his non-custodial, taped-recorded confession was improperly admitted, and (2) prosecutorial misconduct occurred at trial resulting in unfair prejudice. Given overwhelming independent evidence of guilt, we find any error in either respect to have been harmless and affirm.
