State v. St. Clair

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided August 19, 1980PublishedCited by 17 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

WERNICK, Justice.

Defendant Lorraine St. Clair appeals from a judgment of conviction entered in the Superior Court (Androscoggin County) upon the verdict of a jury finding her guilty of embezzlement (17 M.R.S.A. § 2107). She asserts three points on appeal: (1) that the indictment was fatally deficient; (2) that the presiding Justice committed reversible error by admitting evidence of transactions occurring outside the time period charged in the indictment; and (3) that the evidence was inadequate to support the verdict.

We deny the appeal and affirm the judgment of conviction.
