State v. McBreairty
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of thirteen hunting, fishing, and firearm-related offenses. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to support a conviction on five of the thirteen counts challenged by Defendant; (2) the superior court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant’s motion to dismiss two of the charges based on an accord and satisfaction that was offered to the court due to the lack of clarity regarding the validity of the accord and satisfaction offered; (3) Defendant was not prejudiced when he was not provided physical access to the actual fish in the State’s possession prior to trial; and (4) a misstatement of fact made by the State during its closing argument did not prejudice Defendant.
