State v. Jaron Gibbs

Syllabus

Jaron Lamont Gibbs was convicted of murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. We granted Gibbs a writ of certiorari to review the court of appeals' decision in State v. Gibbs, 431 S.C. 313, 847 S.E.2d 495 (Ct. App. 2020). We affirm the court of appeals as modified and hold the trial court did not err in (1) allowing a lay witness to testify about single and double action revolvers or (2) allowing the State to reference the witness's testimony in its closing argument.
