Description
RABINOWITZ, Chief Justice. OPINION. Luther Burke appeals his statutory rape conviction on seven separate grounds. These are alleged due process violations as a result of pre-indictment delay, an alleged error in allowance of evidence of prior sexual misconduct, a denial of a continuance, a denial of a motion for acquittal on lack of corroboration, failure to give a cautionary instruction on the victims testimony, and error in giving instructions on the absence of a need for corroboration and inconsistent testimony. We have considered each of these alleged errors in turn and find no reversible error. Therefore, Burkes conviction is Affirmed.
