New Hampshire v. Drown

Defendant Kevin Drown was convicted by jury on three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, and one count of felonious sexual assault. On appeal, he argued the Trial Court erred by permitting the prosecutor to: (1) argue that it was difficult for the victim to testify, and because she did so, she must be credible; (2) ask the defendant for his opinion about the victim’s credibility; and (3) argue that the defendant’s opinions about the victim’s credibility were inculpatory and contradicted his counsel’s argument. Finding no reversible error, the New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed Drown’s convictions. View "New Hampshire v. Drown" on Justia Law
