State v. Parks
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine · Decided November 30, 1987 · Clifford, McKusick, Nichols, Roberts, Scolnik, Wathen
533 A.2d 1288; 1987 Me. LEXIS 859 (Atlantic Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Parks

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.

Larry Parks appeals his convictions entered after a jury trial in Superior Court, Cumberland County, of kidnapping, gross sexual misconduct, unlawful sexual contact, burglary and theft in violation of, respectively, 17-A M.R.S.A. §§ 301(1)(A)(3), 253, 255(1), 401 and 353 (1983 & Supp. 1987). Parks contends that the in-court identification by a witness was tainted by an inadvertent out-of-court confrontation. We conclude that the Superior Court ruled correctly that a chance encounter of the defendant and the witness was not unduly suggestive and properly refused to suppress the witness’s in-court identification. See State v. Reeves, 499 A.2d 130, 136-37 (Me. 1985).

The entry is:

Judgment affirmed.

All concurring.
