February 2, 20162016 Wyo. LEXIS 16

Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed Mr. Griggs's convictions and life-without-parole sentence for sexually abusing two children. It upheld the children's competency findings, rejected the ineffective-assistance, speedy-trial, continuance, and character-evidence claims, and concluded that although some hearsay was improperly admitted, the errors were harmless because the evidence was cumulative. No separate opinions were filed.
