P. v. Myers CA4/1
A jury found defendant Charles Myers guilty of participating with two of his brothers (Korey and Willie Myers) in the "Scooter Bandits" series of armed robberies and residential burglaries. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on a misdemeanor count of sexual battery that allegedly occurred during one of the burglaries. The trial court sentenced him to 13 years in prison. On appeal, Charles contends the trial court erred by denying his motion to sever the burglary and sexual battery counts from the robbery counts. He also contends the trial court erroneously responded to a question from the jury about the extent to which the jury could use its conclusions regarding guilt on some counts toward the resolution of the remaining counts. We reject these contentions, and affirm.
