Description
Miller Weston was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to a term of forty years. He appeals, raising several points: (1) the trial court erred by not instructing the jury on self defense; (2) the jury instruction regarding first degree murder was inadequate; (3) the prosecutor, in the presence of the jury, improperly referred to Westons invocation of his right to remain silent; (4) the state did not disprove Westons heat of passion defense; and (5) the sentence is clearly excessive. We find Westons arguments to be without merit and therefore affirm the conviction and sentence.
