State v. Colgrove

Nebraska Supreme Court

Decided January 12, 1977No. 40789PublishedCited by 11 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtClinton, J.

The defendant was found guilty by a jury of the charge of operating a motor vehicle to flee in an effort to avoid arrest, contrary to the provisions of section 60-430.07, R. R. S. 1943, and was sentenced to a term of 6 months in the county jail. Upon appeal to this court the sole assignment of error is the refusal of the trial judge to give a requested instruction which would have permitted the jury to find the defendant guilty of “lesser included offenses” of speeding, failure to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, and failure to obey a lawful order of the law enforcement officer.
