State v. Mair

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided January 22, 1996PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

CLIFFORD, Justice.

David J. Mair appeals from a judgment of conviction for robbery, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 651(1)(B)(2) (1983) (Class A), entered after a jury trial in the Superior Court (Andros-coggin County, Delahanty, C.J.). Mair contends that the trial court erred in the admission of certain evidence, improperly denied his motion for a mistrial, and erred in instructing the jury that possession of recently stolen property may give rise to an inference that the possessor stole the property. Finding no error or abuse of discretion, we affirm the judgment.

There was evidence presented at Mair’s trial…
