State v. Slagle

VICTOR C. HOWARD, Chief Judge.

Defendant Denis L. Slagle was convicted of two counts of first-degree statutory sodomy, one count of possession of child pornography, and one count of stealing by deceit. He now seeks relief after the trial court denied his motion for a new trial. He argues that the trial court erred by denying his request for a continuance, refusing to order a mistrial after the State and several witnesses alluded to other possible victims, and refused to allow him to question witnesses about the State’s lack of medical examination of the victim.
