1987 Me. LEXIS 809
Clifford, Glassman, McKusick, Nichols, Scolnik, Wathen

State v. Curtis

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.

Richard Curtis appeals from the denial by the Superior Court (Somerset County) of his motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence. We conclude that the Superior Court was not clearly erroneous in finding that Curtis had failed to show the probability of a different result if on retrial the Court learned of the recantation. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See State v. Pierce, 438 A.2d 247, 253 (Me. 1981).

The entry must be:

Judgment affirmed.

All concurring.
