State v. Latham

OPINION

JOHNSEN, Judge.

¶ 1 Sitting at another man’s kitchen table with a loaded pistol in his lap, Albert Charles Latham, Jr. threatened to kill the man if he did not give Latham $10,000. When the man’s wife came home a short while later, the man relayed Latham’s threat and told his wife to go to them credit union, cash a check and return with the money for Latham. The wife did so. Latham argues this evidence is insufficient to support the jury’s finding that he was guilty of kidnapping the wife. We disagree and affirm Latham’s convictions and resulting sentences.
