Description: Hutchinson, Kansas criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with sex crimes.


Here, a jury found that the facts proved that Shawn P. Rosenberg was guilty of several serious sex crimes. In this appeal, we must decide whether legally sufficient evidence was presented to this jury so it could find the accused guilty. We must also decide whether the omission of a certain jury instruction was reversible error.

Rosenberg appeals his convictions for three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. He contends that his conviction for aggravated indecent liberties with a child younger than 14 was unsupported by the evidence because the State failed to prove the
child's age at the time of the crime. Rosenberg also argues that the court should have given the jury a unanimity instruction because, in his view, two of the charges were based on multiple acts-each of which could provide the basis for a conviction.
