Description
Defendant Charles Franklin Brooks was convicted of second degree murder and received the maximum sentence of life in prison. We find the trial court erred by (1) allowing the State to cross-examine defendant regarding incidents of domestic violence against his wife; and (2) overruling defendants objections to remarks made by the State in closing argument characterizing defendant as a "wife-abuser," "liquor-drinker," and "dope-smoker." We find the errors prejudicial and order a new trial.
