Perritt vs. State, 2005 WY, 121 120 P.3d 181
Sep 23, 2005OUTCOME: Reversed. Case dismissed with prejudice.
Trial Attorney in 12 person jury trial. Jury verdict reversed on appeal. "Appellant seeks review of her conviction for obtaining property by false pretenses. She contends that the evidence was insuff ... icient to sustain her conviction, that the district court erred by including an award of restitution to the State as a part of her sentence, that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct throughout her trial, that irrelevant evidence was admitted concerning her husband's bad behavior that prejudiced her right to a fair trial, and that the cumulative effect of trial errors mandate reversal of her conviction. We will reverse the judgment and sentence of the district court on the basis that the evidence was not sufficient to sustain the conviction and remand to the district court with directions that the information be dismissed with prejudice."
