STATE v. RIVERS

No. 5296.

411 S.C. 551 (2015)

769 S.E.2d 263

The STATE, Respondent, v. Mitchell RIVERS, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided February 11, 2015.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Chief Appellate Defender Robert Michael Dudek, and Appellate Defenders Breen Richard Stevens and Benjamin John Tripp, all of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Ellis Roberts, all of Columbia; and Solicitor William Benjamin Rogers, Jr., of Bennettsville, for Respondent.

Mitchell Rivers was convicted of homicide by child abuse following the death of his four-month-old adopted son (the victim). Rivers appeals his conviction, arguing the trial court erred in admitting evidence of injuries the victim sustained at an earlier time because no evidence connected Rivers to the injuries. We affirm.
