Wyoming Supreme Court

Michael Alexander Gleason, Appellant (defendant) v. the State of Wyoming, Appellee (plaintiff)

October 24, 20022002 Wyo. LEXIS 182

Summary

The court affirmed Gleason’s convictions, holding that the trial court properly admitted uncharged misconduct evidence for permissible purposes after conducting the required relevance and prejudice analysis. It also rejected Gleason’s prosecutorial-misconduct claim under plain-error review and concluded that counsel was not ineffective because Gleason knowingly and voluntarily waived his presence during peremptory challenges. No separate opinions were filed.
