State v. Hogue
State v. Hogue, 2025 UT App 88 (Christiansen Forster, J.)
Criminal
The Utah Court of Appeals held:
- The mens rea evidence presented by the State was sufficient to support the convictions.
- The prosecutorial misconduct claims were not preserved for appellate review.
- Trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance because trial counsel did not perform deficiently by pursuing a self-defense strategy to the exclusion of an inconsistent alternative theory.
