William Gill (counsel for appellant Joseph Chestnut) opened and said Chestnut raised two issues on appeal: (1) the trial court's denial of a pretrial motion to suppress and (2) insufficiency of proof of premeditation. Before addressing those, Gill argued the State's timeliness challenge to Chestnut's notice of appeal is procedurally foreclosed by estoppel because the State did not raise the issue earlier (he cites a 942-day delay).
