State v. R. French

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of French’s motion to dismiss, holding that reliable, independent circumstantial evidence corroborated the child victim’s prior inconsistent statements and supported the conviction for sexual intercourse without consent. The Court also affirmed the denial of a new trial because French did not show that statutory deviations in jury selection affected the randomness of the jury pool, juror exclusions, or the fairness of his trial.
