State v. Thorne

SCOLNIK, Justice.

Fred Thorne appeals from a judgment entered on a jury verdict in the Superior Court, Washington County, convicting him of criminal threatening with a firearm, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 209, and reckless conduct with a firearm, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 211. On appeal, defendant alleges error with respect to evidentiary rulings relating to the admissibility of certain opinion evidence and a hospital report, the denial of a motion for a bill of particulars, and the presiding justice’s instructions to the jury regarding the defense of justification. We deny the appeal and affirm the convictions.
