State v. Baker

The evidence adequately supported the jury’s determination that Defendant committed the offense of attempted first-degree rape of a child in violation of N.C. Gen. Stat. 14-27.2A(a). Defendant was convicted, in addition to his attempted rape charge, of taking indecent liberties with a child. The trial court sentenced Defendant to a term of 240 to 297 months of imprisonment. The court of appeals vacated Defendant’s attempted rape conviction on sufficiency of the evidence grounds. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support Defendant’s conviction for attempted rape. View "State v. Baker" on Justia Law
