Criminal Action: Third degree sexual assault of a child.
Action Taken by Trial Court: Richter was convicted of three counts of third degree sexual assault of a child.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Richter assigns that the district court erred in (1) imposing an excessive sentence; (2) finding sufficient evidence to establish the elements of the crimes; (3) denying the motion for directed verdict; (4) admitting the testimony of the State's 404/414 witness, T.T., and failing to give a limiting instruction; (5) sustaining the motion to join and overruling the motion to sever; (6) denying his motions to depose; (7) denying the motion to continue trial; and (8) limiting the cross-examination of the State's witness, L.D. He also assigns that all of the errors in the aggregate establish that he did not receive a fair trial.
