Description
Defendant-appellant Robin C. Klinge (Klinge) appeals from the second circuit court's judgment, guilty conviction, and sentence filed December 3, 1997. On October 1, 1997, a jury found Klinge guilty of terroristic threatening in the first degree in violation of Hawai`i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 707-716(1)(b) (1993). *fn1 On appeal, Klinge contends that: (1) his constitutional right to a unanimous verdict was violated because the requisite mental states with respect to the results of the prohibited conduct under HRS § 707-715 *fn2 gave rise to separate crimes; and (2) the trial court erred in failing to grant his motion for mistrial based on prosecutorial misconduct. We hold that (1) Klinge's constitutional right to a unanimous verdict was not violated inasmuch as HRS §§ 707-715(1) and (2) do not give rise to two separate and distinct crimes; and (2) The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Klinge's motion for mistrial based on prosecutorial misconduct. Accordingly, we affirm the circuit court's judgment, guilty conviction and sentence filed on December 3, 1997.
