The victim was found in a field, killed by a single gunshot wound to the back of his head. The appellant and two co-accused were known associates of the victim. The appellant and victim were in a dispute over a firearm. DNA testing of two cigarette butts found near the body matched that of the appellant and Kayem, one of his two co-accused. Cell tower records revealed the appellant and Kayem’s cell phones accessed the cell tower nearest to where the body was located the night before the body was found. The appellant, while not a suspect, told police on two occasions that he was with the victim during the day but was at a bar with his wife on the night of the murder. Security footage from the bar did not show the appellant or his wife in attendance. Intercepted communications recorded several potentially incriminating conversations the appellant had with several others, including his wife. The appellant and his wife subsequently divorced. Khaleyi told police in a recorded statement under oath that the appellant confessed to murdering the victim. At trial, Khaleyi recanted most of his statement. Kayem and Abdul-Hussein, the second co-accused who pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact, told the police the appellant was responsible for the killing....
