Opinion

Argued March 7, 1986.

Decided March 20, 1986.

Appeal from the Superior Court, Somerset County.

David W. Crook, Dist. Atty., John Alsop, Asst. Dist. Atty. (orally), for plaintiff.

Shiro Shiro Law Offices, Ronald A. Ducharme (orally), Louis J. Shiro, Waterville, for defendant.

Before NICHOLS, VIOLETTE, WATHEN, GLASSMAN and SCOLNIK, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.

The Defendant, Duayne Vais, appeals from a judgment of conviction of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 209 (1983), following a jury-waived trial in Superior Court, in Somerset County.

The principal issue urged on appeal was the sufficiency of the evidence. This, however, was essentially a question of fact for the finder-of-fact. The presiding justice, sitting without a jury, could rationally have found all elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.

We have reviewed the Defendant's other issues and conclude that none has merit.

The entry must be:

Judgment affirmed.

All concurring.
