Deephouse v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of one count of third-degree sexual abuse of a minor, holding that there was sufficient evidence to support the conviction.
Defendant was convicted of sexually assaulting his niece, DT. On appeal, Defendant argued that DT's testimony during trial lacked credibility and could not support his conviction and that, alternatively, the State was only able to establish the first element of the offense through leading questions. The Supreme Court rejected Defendant's arguments and affirmed, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's verdict.
