State v. Gifford

COLLINS, Justice.

Defendant Frank Gifford appeals two convictions for rape, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 252 (Class A) (1983) and one conviction of gross sexual misconduct, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 253 (Class A) (1983), following a jury trial in Superior Court (Somerset County, Alexander, J.). Defendant challenges the court’s instruction to the jury on the statute of limitations, the sufficiency of the indictment, the court’s failure to give a limiting instruction to the jury on the use of certain evidence and the court’s admission of testimony defendant claims is hearsay. We affirm the judgments.
