State vs. George Redd

Following a jury trial, the defendant, George Redd, was convicted of burglary. He was sentenced as a career offender to twelve years incarceration. In this appeal as of right, the defendant asserts that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support his conviction and that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on the lesser included offenses of burglary. We hold that the evidence was sufficient to support the defendant's conviction but that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on the lesser included offenses of burglary. Because we conclude that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
