Pierce v. State

RIDGELY, Justice:

Defendant-Appellant Gary D. Pierce (“Pierce”) appeals his convictions in Superior Court of two counts of Attempted First Degree Rape and two counts of First Degree Rape. Pierce first claims that the incident leading to his conviction should be viewed as a single, ongoing incident rather than four separate and distinct assaults because his acts took no longer than 15 minutes to complete. He also claims that the Superior Court erred by refusing to give a specific jury instruction regarding single theory unanimity. We find no merit to his arguments and affirm.
