State v. Danielson
Annotate this CaseA jury found Trent Danielson guilty of perjury. Danielson appealed, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the verdict, the trial court erred in denying his motion for a court-appointed private investigator, and the court erred in denying a motion in limine and admitting used transmission parts into evidence. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to sustain the jury's guilty verdict, as a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of perjury beyond a reasonable doubt; and (2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Danielson's motion for appointment of a private investigator, motion in limine to exclude the transmission parts, and motion to dismiss for the destruction of evidence.
