State v. Coulombe

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided May 19, 1977PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

ARCHIBALD, Justice.

The Penobscot County grand jury returned an indictment against the defendant charging him with two counts of felonious trespass in violation of 17 M.R.S.A. § 3854(4). 1 A jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts and the defendant has appealed from the resulting judgments. He claims error (1) in the refusal to strike in-court identifications of the defendant on the ground that they were tainted by impermissible pre-trial identification procedures, and (2) in the refusal to grant defendant’s motion for a mistrial.

We deny the appeal.
