In re Adoption of Spado, Docket: Kno-06-23, SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT OF MAINE, January 9, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the trustees used the wrong probate form to commence a adoption annulment proceeding and Form N-103 did not advise the adopted daughter that a written reply was required, the notice to the adopted daughter was plainly insufficient under Me. R. Prob. P. 4(a)(1)(B). Thus, the court erred in granting the default judgment.

State v. Masker, Docket: Han-06-118, SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT OF MAINE, January 9, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court did not err in instructing the jury that it was required to return a guilty verdict if the State had proved all of the elements of the alleged offenses beyond a reasonable doubt; although it may have been a reality of life that jury nullification occurred, Maine courts had never recognized jury nullification as a right of a defendant.

State v. Stevens, Docket: Ken-05-700, SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT OF MAINE, January 9, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the interplay between Me. Rev. Stat. Ann. tit. 29-A, § 2411(1-A)(D)(2) and Me. Rev. Stat. Ann. tit. 17-A, § 9-A(3) was ambiguous, the rule of lenity applied. Thus, the appellate court resolved the ambiguity in favor of defendant and affirmed the trial court's dismissal of the OUI charge as a Class C crime.
