State v. Rupp

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed the convictions for second degree assault and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony. It held that the evidence, viewed favorably to the prosecution, permitted the jury to reject self-defense, and that three ineffective-assistance assignments were too vague to preserve those claims for later postconviction review. The court also held that the plea-related ineffective-assistance claim was sufficiently assigned but could not be resolved on the trial record.
