State v. Burnett
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court convicting Defendant of nine counts of assault on a minor and one count of perjury, holding that sufficient evidence existed to support Defendant's conviction for perjury and that the district court did not err in denying Defendant's motion to dismiss due to a speedy trial violation.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) viewing the light most favorable to the State, a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of perjury beyond a reasonable doubt based on Defendant's testimony, a jail phone call made by Defendant, and trial testimony; and (2) the district court did not err in concluding that the State did not violate Defendant's right to a speedy trial.
