  3. State v. Harvey

    2015 UT App. 92 (Utah Ct. App. 2015)   Cited 4 times

    Harvey did not raise these claims in the district court, and therefore they are not preserved. Accordingly, he raises them on appeal claiming plain error and ineffective assistance of counsel. See State v. Williams, 2013 UT App 101, ¶ 2, 300 P.3d 788 (observing that claims of plain error and ineffective assistance of counsel are exceptions to the preservation rule). Plain error requires a defendant to show that “(i) an error exists; (ii) the error should have been obvious to the trial court; and (iii) the error is harmful.”
