State v. Fuller

CLIFFORD, Justice.

Joel K. Fuller appeals from the order entered in the Superior Court (Waldo County, Kravchuk, J.) denying his motion for reconsideration of the denial of his motion for a new trial following his conviction for murder, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 201(1)(A) (1983). He contends that jurors’ use of written notes during jury deliberations entitles him to a new trial, or, in the alternative, that he is entitled to an evidentiary hearing to determine the extent of prejudice he suffered from the use of the notes by the jurors. We find no error or abuse of discretion and affirm the judgment.
