A-15-0273, State of Nebraska v. Raymundo Perez-Cruz (Appellant)
Lancaster County, District Court Judge Andrew Jacobsen
Attorney for Appellant: Jim K. McGough (McGoughLaw P.C., L.L.O.)
Attorney for Appellee: Douglas J. Peterson & George R. Love (Attorney General's Office)
Criminal Action: First Degree Sexual Assault of a Child
Action Taken by Trial Court: The trial court found the appellant guilty of first degree sexual assault of a child and sentenced him to 25 to 40 years' imprisonment.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: The appellant contends that the district court erred by overruling his request to withdraw his waiver of a jury trial, in finding that the evidence was sufficient to convict him of first degree sexual assault of a child, and by imposing an excessive sentence. The appellant also assigns that trial counsel was ineffective for advising him to waive his right to a jury trial.
