Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Moylan concurs with the lower court's decision to charge a bar customer with second-degree murder after he alleged stabbed someone, who died shortly after, outside the bar. The customer, on appeal, questions whether the evidence of video footage and the testimony of bar staff and other customers is legally sufficient and whether the judge abused his discretion by dismissing a juror. Upon review, although no one claimed to have seen the moment where the perpetrator stabbed the victim, multiple witnesses corroborated the customer's presence and physical description, as did the footage, and saw him running away just after the stabbing took place. Also, the judge was correct in replacing a juror as there was a potential conflict of interest since the juror was acquainted with some of the customer's family members. Affirmed.
