00-2874-CR State v. Cucuta

By: dmc-admin//September 17, 2001//

Listen to this article

Manuel Cucuta appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, party to a crime, and one count of use of a dangerous weapon. Cucuta also appeals from the trial court’s order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Cucuta argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion for postconviction relief and his request for a new trial because: (1) he was denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial; (2) the State failed to disclose a confidential informant’s identity which was exculpatory evidence; and (3) the jury instructions were inadequate and prejudicial because there was no cautionary instruction regarding accomplice testimony.

We disagree and affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
