Clayton J. Morrell v. State Alaska

RABINOWITZ, Justice. OPINION. Clayton Morrell brings this appeal from his conviction, after trial by jury, on one count of kidnapping, a single count of assault with intent to commit rape, and eight counts of forcible rape. All of these charges arose out of Morrells 8-day encounter with 18-year-old Anne Elias in May 1975. After a presentence investigation had been conducted and the presentence report had been filed, Morrell was sentenced to life imprisonment on the kidnapping charge and to concurrent 10-year terms of imprisonment on each of the eight separate forcible rape convictions; Morrells life imprisonment sentence was to run consecutively to the concurrent 10-year terms. We affirm.
