State v. Mitchell

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided July 26, 1991PublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

GLASSMAN, Justice.

The defendant, Daniel J. Mitchell, appeals from the judgments of the Superior Court (Penobscot County, Smith, J.). finding him guilty on one count of burglary, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 401 (1983), and one count of theft, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 353 (1983). Mitchell contends that the court erroneously accepted a waiver of his right to a jury trial, the State produced insufficient evidence to support his conviction on the burglary count, and he received ineffective assistance of counsel at his trial. Finding no error in the record, we affirm the judgments.
