Description
Rod A. Sivertsen appeals his convictions for second-degree burglary 1 and second-degree theft. 1 He argues that Superior Court Judge Larry R. Weeks committed various errors during trial when he admitted certain evidence and denied Sivertsen's motions for a mistrial and a judgment of acquittal on one count. But we conclude that Judge Weeks did not abuse his discretion and that he did not err by denying the acquittal motion. Therefore, we affirm Sivertsen's conviction. However, we find that we must vacate Sivertsen's sentence. Facts and proceedings On July 31, 1996, Sergeant Chuck Perry of the Ketchikan Police Department called the Juneau Police Department and spoke to Officer Ben Cornell. Perry told Cornell that Sivertsen was flying to Juneau that evening and that he was a suspected burglar. A photograph of Sivertsen was faxed to the Juneau police.
