State v. Cervantes-Puentes
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for twenty-five years. Defendant appealed, asserting, among other claims, that the district court erred in admitting in-court identifications from two witnesses because, prior to trial, the witnesses were shown an impermissibly suggestive photo array. The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction and sentence, holding (1) Defendant failed to provide an adequate record on appeal to support his first claim of error; and (2) Defendant failed properly to preserve or present any constitutional challenges to his sentence.
