1st-degree intentional homicide — sufficiency of the evidence

After a 2009 trial, a jury found Thomas C. Niesen guilty of first-degree intentional homicide in the July 1976 stabbing death of nineteen-year-old Kathleen Leichtman. The judgment of conviction was entered, and Niesen was sentenced to life in prison. Niesen appeals directly from the judgment of conviction, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction and several evidentiary rulings by the trial court. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
