Vermont v. Stanley

by
Defendant William Stanley, Sr., appealed his conviction of sexual assault. On appeal, defendant argued that the trial court: (1) erroneously permitted the trial and sentencing to proceed in his absence; (2) erroneously permitted the State to introduce an uncharged prior bad act as evidence; and (3) imposed the habitual-offender enhancement in a way that may have violated the Double Jeopardy Clause. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed. View "Vermont v. Stanley" on Justia Law
