State v. Rathai

253 N.W.2d 148, 312 Minn. 601

Supreme Court of Minnesota·Decided April 15, 1977·No. No. 46738·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Defendant was found guilty by a district court jury of charges of kidnapping and aggravated rape, Minn.St. 609.25 and [149]*149609.291, and was sentenced by the trial court to a maximum indeterminate term of 15 years at the state reformatory. Issues raised by defendant on this appeal from judgment of conviction are whether identification procedures used by police created a substantial likelihood of irreparable mis-identification and whether there was, as a matter of law, insufficient evidence identifying him as the assailant. Our review of the record compels affirmance since we find no merit supporting defendant’s claims.

Affirmed.
