Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney General Mark Reynolds Farthing, both of Columbia, for Respondent. Appellant Eric E.

Courtroom I

2018-000988 The State, Respondent,
v.
Tammy Dianne Brown, Appellant. Adam Sinclair Ruffin, of Columbia, for Appellant. Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Jonathan Scott Matthews, both of Columbia, for Respondent. Tammy D. Brown appeals her convictions for felony driving under the influence (DUI) resulting in death and felony DUI resulting in great bodily injury. Brown argues the trial court erred in (1) refusing to quash or dismiss the indictments because they did not allege the particular traffic violation the State sought to prove as an essential element of each offense; (2) admitting her blood sample taken at the hospital because she was not provided an independent sample and law enforcement did not offer her affirmative assistance; and (3) admitting testimony regarding her blood alcohol level from a sample obtained by law enforcement at the hospital when the collection of the sample was not recorded by video. |

Zelenka, Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Melody Jane Brown, W. Jeffrey Young, and William Joseph Maye, all of Columbia, for Respondent. Montrelle Lamont Campbell appeals his convictions of murder and attempted murder. He contends that because attempted murder is a specific intent crime, the trial court erred in charging the jury that malice may be inferred when a deadly weapon is used. Additionally, he maintains that because no evidence supported an accomplice liability charge, the trial court erred by instructing the jury on the hand of one is the hand of all theory of accomplice liability. |

Encore Technology brought and won various self-dealing claims against Keone Trask and Clear Touch Interactive.
