State v. Stricklan
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of two counts of aggravated sexual abuse, holding that the district court did not err in concluding that there was sufficient evidence to sustain Defendant's convictions.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court erred by denying his motion for a directed verdict and a motion to arrest judgment. Specifically, Defendant argued that the State presented insufficient evidence to convict him because the victim recanted her story that Defendant had inappropriately touched her. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the jury was entitled to weigh the two versions of the victim's story, consider the other evidence of Defendant's guilt, and decide which version of the victim's story it found to be credible.
