S-20-0915 State of Nebraska v. Kenneth W. Grant, Jr. (Appellant)
Lancaster County District Court, Honorable Darla S. Ideus
Attorneys: Joe Nigro and James Sieben (Lancaster County Public Defender’s Office, for Appellant); Marcee Brownlee (Lincoln City Attorney’s Office, for Appellee)
Criminal: Disturbing the peace, Assault or menacing threats
Proceedings below: The county court convicted the Appellant after a bench trial and the district court affirmed the conviction on appeal.
Issues on Appeal: Whether the district court erred by affirming the county court’s 1) verdict of guilty of disturbing the peace, because the city ordinance as applied violated Appellant’s constitutional rights; 2) verdicts because there was insufficient evidence of guilt; or 3) sentence because it was excessive.
