Description
OAKS, Justice: A jury found defendant guilty of aggravated sexual assault, forcible sodomy, and kidnaping, and he was sentenced to concurrent terms of five years to life, one to five years, and five years respectively. On appeal, he argues: (1) that there was insufficient evidence of kidnaping; (2) that the sodomy conviction should be set aside because the trial Judge refused the jurys request to define a term of common usage; and (3) that all three convictions should be set aside because the trial court refused to admit a jurors post-trial affidavit impeaching the jurys verdict. All statutory citations are to Utah Code Annotated, 1953, as amended, except where otherwise noted.
