State v. Weatherall

Syllabus

Mitchell Weatherall appeals his conviction for murder and his sentence of life imprisonment. Weatherall argues the trial court abused its discretion by (1) denying his Batson challenges, which were based on race and sexual orientation, and (2) refusing to charge section 17-25-65 of the South Carolina Code (2015) because an imprisoned State's witness testified he did not expect to receive any benefit from his testimony. We affirm.
