Jennifer Dean was convicted of felony murder after an alleged robbery plan resulted in one of her accomplices killing the victim. Dean appeals and argues that 1) the trial court committed fundamental error during voir dire by endorsing eighty-percent certainty as a description of the reasonable doubt standard; 2) the State presented insufficient evidence to support Dean’s conviction for felony murder; and 3) Dean’s sentence is inappropriate.
The scheduled panelists are Judge May, Judge Bradford, and Judge Tavitas.
