Dennis Lee Daellenbach, Appellant (defendant Below) v. the State of Wyoming, Appellee (plaintiff Below)

Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed Daellenbach's aggravated robbery conviction and six-to-seven-year sentence. The court held that the jury instruction regarding his failure to testify was invited error and not plain error, that evidentiary rulings and denial of a new-trial hearing were within the trial court's discretion, that the element of 'putting in fear' was satisfied by placing a gun on the store manager's shoulder, and that the sentence disparity with a co-defendant did not constitute an abuse of discretion.
