State of Maine v. Kenneth M. Chase Jr.

Summary

The court affirmed Chase’s convictions and aggregate sentence. It held that the jury instructions sufficiently tied each count to a single charged incident and date, so no specific-unanimity instruction was required, and that the sentencing court did not improperly double count the multiple assaults because it considered them for different sentencing purposes. The court also concluded that the sentencing court properly considered the relevant statutory factors and did not abuse its sentencing power.
