  To prevail on appeal, the defendant must demonstrate that, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, no rational trier of fact could have found guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. See State v. Graham, 142 N.H. 357, 360 (1997). In the present case, C.B. testified as to the assault and so long as her testimony suffices to establish a prima facie case, no corroborating evidence is needed.

  The defendant later confessed "to his . . . elders at the . . . Jehovah's Witness [sic] church" that he had also acted improperly with the aunt's two children. C.B.'s aunt knew of the defendant's confession regarding her children and had discussed the matter with the police. However, she did not tell the police about the defendant's confession regarding C.B. until September 2000.

  Thanks for bringing this information here. Sooooooooo, his lawyers were trying to get him off on infamous "legal technicalities" - but failed. Good.

  He had sexually abused 3 kids, if I read right? And the elders knew.

  in September 1999, the defendant admitted to C.B.'s aunt that he had touched C.B., although he claimed it was unintentional. The defendant later confessed "to his . . . elders at the . . . Jehovah's Witness [sic] church" that he had also acted improperly with the aunt's two children. C.B.'s aunt knew of the defendant's confession regarding her children and had discussed the matter with the police. However, she did not tell the police about the defendant's confession regarding C.B. until September 2000.

  Glad the Court affirmed

  Thanks, Angry, for posting the entire decision here. It is interesting to read how the court reasons.

  I, too, am glad this pedophile remains behind bars.
