Secrest v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of aggravated assault and battery. On appeal, Appellant argued that the district court erred by denying his motion to continue his jury trial to allow newly retained counsel additional time to prepare for trial and that the jury's special verdict findings contained inconsistencies that required a new trial. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellant's motion to continue his jury trial; and (2) there was no plain error in alleged inconsistencies in the jury's special verdict findings form.
