State v. Rathai

Minnesota Supreme Court
State v. Rathai, 253 N.W.2d 148 (Minn. 1977)
312 Minn. 601

State v. Rathai

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Defendant was found guilty by a district court jury of charges of kidnapping and aggravated rape, Minn.St. 609.25 and *149609.291, and was sentenced by the trial court to a maximum indeterminate term of 15 years at the state reformatory. Issues raised by defendant on this appeal from judgment of conviction are whether identification procedures used by police created a substantial likelihood of irreparable mis-identification and whether there was, as a matter of law, insufficient evidence identifying him as the assailant. Our review of the record compels affirmance since we find no merit supporting defendant’s claims.

Affirmed.
