Sexton v. Commonwealth
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court convicting Defendant of one count of second-degree rape, one count of third-degree rape, and two counts of incest, holding that there was no reversible error.
On appeal, Defendant argued that his trial court should have been severed from his wife's trial, that his wife's counsel improperly made statements against his interest in closing arguments, that the jury instructions violated his right to a unanimous jury verdict, and that certain evidence at trial was improperly admitted. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on any of his allegations of error.
