State v. Boyle

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided June 13, 1989PublishedCited by 3 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

GLASSMAN, Justice.

The defendant, Marie Boyle, appeals from the judgments of the Superior Court (York County, Cole, J.) entered on a jury verdict finding her guilty of three counts of unlawful sexual contact in violation of 17-A M.R.S.A. § 255 (Supp.1988). We find no error in the trial court’s limitation of the scope of cross-examination by Boyle or the denial of Boyle’s motion for a mistrial and affirm the judgments.

Boyle first contends that the trial court erred in refusing to permit testimony concerning other acts of sexual abuse of the two minor victims by persons other than Boyle.
