Washington V. Smith

SEINFELD, C.J. -- Shelley Sue Smith appeals her convictions for the attempted first degree murder of her fiance, James Jeffers, and for conspiring to commit the first degree murder of her ex-husband, David Smith.*fn1 Jeffers testified against Smith, but later recanted and pleaded guilty to perjury. Smith seeks a new trial because of Jeffers's recantation. She also assigns error to the information and to certain jury instructions. We find no error but remand for a determination of whether the recantation requires a new trial.
