State v. Stratton

McKUSICK, Chief Justice.

Defendant Hal M. Stratton appeals his conviction as an accomplice to operating under the influence of intoxicating liquor, 29 M.R.S.A. § 1312-B (Supp.1989), following a jury trial in the Superior Court (Ken-nebec County, Alexander, J.). In this case of first impression for Maine, we hold that there was no error in the court’s instructing the jury on accomplice liability for OUI. Concluding also that the evidence amply supported the jury in finding defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt as an accomplice to that crime, we affirm.
