State v. Michaud

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court after a jury found Defendant guilty of two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of aggravated driving to endanger. On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of the victims’ injuries when she was willing to stipulate that they had sustained serious bodily injuries and in denying her motion for a new trial based on alleged prosecutorial misconduct. The Supreme Judicial Court held (1) the trial court did not err in its treatment of the evidence of the victims’ injuries; and (2) a comment by the prosecutor during closing arguments did not result in obvious error, and therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant’s motion for a new trial.
