State v. Rega

[¶ 1] Thomas C. Rega appeals from the judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Cole, J.) after a jury trial convicting him of kidnapping, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 301(1)(A)(3) (Class A) (1983),1 and gross sexual assault, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 253(1)(A) (Class A) (Supp.2001).2 Rega contends that the trial court erroneously admitted out-of-court statements Rega’s wife made to the police and another witness, and he argues that the evidence was insufficient to support the convictions. Rega also challenges the admission of expert testimony concerning his mental state. We affirm the judgment.
