Description
SUBSTITUTE OPINION Kenneth Lee Buzzard was convicted by a jury of second degree murder in the stabbing death of Randy Hayward. Buzzard was sentenced to an indeterminate term of twenty years. On appeal, Buzzard raises several alleged errors that he argues made his trial unfair. First, Buzzard asserts that the trial Judge erred in admitting certain testimonial evidence, particularly: (a) testimony concerning an incident shortly before the fatal stabbing when Buzzard had threatened the victim with a machete; and (b) testimony by the victim's mother, identifying the victim. Second, Buzzard argues that certain conduct by the prosecutor was improper, specifically: (a) reference by the prosecutor to Buzzard as the man with the machete, and (b) knocking over a pitcher of water in the courtroom. Finally, Buzzard urges that the cumulative effect of the above errors was to make his trial unfair. We affirm the judgment of conviction.
