State v. McAlister
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of sexual intercourse without consent. The victim was four years old at the time of the offenses. Defendant was sentenced to 100 years in prison and was not eligible for parole for the first fifty years. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not err by denying Defendant’s motions that were made during trial to dismiss the charge for insufficient evidence; and (2) Defendant’s claim that trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to call expert witnesses was more properly brought by a petition for postconviction relief.
