State v. Calliham

1 Two brothers, Jordan and Terril Calliham (collectively, ""the Calliham brothers""), were convicted of murder for the killing of their friend and classmate James Eaton (""Eaton""). Terril Calliham (""Terril"") appeals,1 claiming that the trial court erred in denying his request for a psychological evaluation of the State's primary witness and in refusing to sever his trial from his brother. In addition, Terril claims that the trial court erred in denying his motions for a mistrial, that the trial court improperly removed two potential jurors for cause, that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct by arguing accomplice liability to the jury, and that the trial court erred in reading certain passages of the trial transcript to the jury at the jury's request after deliberations had begun. We affirm Terril's conviction. BACKGROUND
