Description
A jury found appellant Morris Jerome Pendleton, Jr., guilty of first-degree premeditated murder and first-degree felony murder while committing kidnapping for the death of Robert Berry, Jr. The district court sentenced Pendleton to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for first-degree felony murder while committing kidnapping. Pendleton appeals, arguing that the district court erred when it: (1) overruled Pendletons Batson objection to the states peremptory challenge of a prospective juror; (2) admitted evidence of two of Pendletons prior criminal convictions for impeachment purposes; and (3) instructed the jury regarding felony murder while committing kidnapping. We affirm.
