PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff–Appellee, v. Scott Denis CRONIN, Defendant–Appellant.
Prior report: Mich.App., 2012 WL 6097463.
Order
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 6, 2012 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court. Although we deny leave to appeal, we note that in People v. Bush, 187 Mich.App. 316, 329, 466 N.W.2d 736 (1991), aff'd in part and rev'd in part on other grounds sub nom People v. Harding, 443 Mich. 693, 506 N.W.2d 482 (1993), the Court of Appeals erroneously stated that the failure to move for a new trial in the trial court precludes appellate review of a “great weight of the evidence” argument. To the contrary, review of an unpreserved “great weight” issue is reviewable on appeal, subject to the “plain error” standard of review. See People v. Cameron, 291 Mich.App. 599, 616–617, 806 N.W.2d 371 (2011).
