02/07/92 State Utah V. C. Dean Larsen

C. Dean Larsen appeals his conviction of eighteen counts of securities fraud and theft on the ground that the Office of the Utah Attorney General (the Attorney General) should have been disqualified from the case for a conflict of interest. Larsen further asserts that formal investigation into wrongdoing was prompted by disclosure of confidential information from his attorney, and constituted an ethical violation. Larsen also challenges the admissibility of opinion testimony by the State's expert, the court's failure to prohibit certain evidence, and its refusal to give certain jury instructions. We affirm.
