State Utah v. John Shepard Davis

In 1982, defendant was found guilty of theft, a third degree felony, in violation of U.C.A., 1953, § 76-6-404. He appealed and argued, inter alia, that the trial court erroneously permitted part of a written deposition to be taken into the jury room. In State v. Davis, 689 P.2d 5 (Utah 1984), this Court affirmed the conviction and ruled that defendant was precluded from asserting the error on appeal in view of his failure to make a seasonable objection at trial.
