Case Synopsis
In Alvarez v. State, the court reaffirmed precedent from cases such as Jackson v. State, which established that a defendant cannot face multiple convictions for offenses that are considered mutually exclusive, when they arise under the same facts. In reversing Alvarez’s conviction for grand larceny, the court held that convicting him twice for the same incident violated the Double Jeopardy Clause. However, it upheld the trial court’s decision concerning the denial of a motion to suppress and prosecutorial misconduct during grand jury proceedings.
