State of Maine v. Rayshaun Moore

Summary

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court affirmed Rayshaun Moore's murder conviction but vacated his thirty‑two‑year sentence, remanding for resentencing. The court held that the trial judge did not err in denying access to the grand‑jury transcript because Moore failed to show a particularized need, and that a sentencing court may not consider a defendant's exercise of the constitutional right to a jury trial as an aggravating factor.
