Description
Appellant was convicted of grand larceny as defined in § 6-7-301, W.S. 1977. He appeals from the judgment and sentence entered against him and makes three charges of error. First, he argues that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress an identification of him made in court. His contention is that improper procedures were used to gain a pretrial identification and that, thus, the witnesss in-court identification was tainted. Appellants second challenge concerns several statements made during the prosecutors closing argument. Here the argument is made that the prosecutors references to appellant as a liar and a thief constituted plain error and denied appellant a fair trial. Finally, appellant attacks the district courts failure to dismiss the information filed against him in this case. He claims that in this state the prosecution of an offense by information is barred by the Wyoming Constitution.
