State v. Morsette
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of sexual intercourse without consent. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court correctly concluded that Defendant was not denied his right to a speedy trial; (2) Defendant failed to establish that he received ineffective assistance of counsel when his attorney failed to object to evidence at trial; (3) the State did not violate Defendant's right to due process by using Defendant's silence after receiving Miranda warnings against him at trial, as the issue was raised during cross-examination of Defendant and focused on Defendant's alibi; and (4) Defendant failed to establish that his conviction should be reversed based upon cumulative error, as there was no error in his conviction.
