Neidlinger v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of first-degree sexual assault, holding that there was no error in the proceedings below but that remand was required for correction of a clerical error contained in the judgment and sentence.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) the district court did not err in denying Defendant's motion for a new trial because Defendant failed to show that trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective; (2) there was sufficient evidence to support a conviction of sexual assault in the first degree; and (3) the district court did not abuse its discretion in using a special verdict form that required the jury to answer questions related to the charged offense before it was required to make a finding of guilt.
