STATE v. MCCOY (2018)

ON REMAND FROM THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

In McCoy v. Louisiana, ––– U.S. ––––, 138 S.Ct. 1500, 1512, 200 L.Ed.2d 821 (2018), the United States Supreme Court found that counsel's admission of defendant McCoy's guilt over defendant's clearly-stated and persistent objection was a structural error that is incompatible with the Sixth Amendment thereby mandating a new trial. In light of that ruling, we vacate defendant's convictions and sentences, and we remand to the district court for further proceedings consistent with McCoy v. Louisiana.

REVERSED AND REMANDED

PER CURIAM.
