by Townsend, Karen

 

AC46093 - State v. Brelsford (Denial of motion for modification of sentence; “On appeal, the defendant claims that the court abused its discretion in finding that he had failed to establish good cause to modify his sentence. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)

AC45685 - State v. Cruz (Assault in the first degree; criminal possession of a firearm; carrying a pistol without a permit; “On appeal, the defendant claims that the state made certain purported misrepresentations in moving to join his case with a codefendant’s case that resulted in an improper joinder of the cases and violated his constitutional rights to confrontation and to a fair trial pursuant to the sixth and fourteenth amendments to the United States constitution. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of conviction.”)
