Description
During the early morning of April 28, 1979, two women were separately assaulted. Both incidents occurred in downtown Boise within approximately forty-five minutes and five blocks of each other. The first involved one assailant and the second involved two. The defendant-appellant Abel was subsequently identified by the victims as their assailant. Later regarding the two incidents, a single information charging Abel with six criminal counts was filed. The counts included assault with intent to rape, attempted kidnapping in the second degree, and a misdemeanor battery relating to each incident. Abel made a pretrial motion for separate trials regarding the two incidents which was denied. This motion was renewed at trial and again denied. A jury found Abel guilty of four of the six counts and guilty of a lesser included offense. Following a motion to dismiss based on I.C. § 18-301, the trial court entered judgment against Abel for attempted kidnapping in the second degree with respect to the first incident and for assault with intent to commit rape in the second incident. Abel has perfected this appeal. Abel presents two issues -- (1) whether the trial court abused its discretion in denying the appellant's motions for separate trials of the counts arising out of the separate incidents and (2) whether the trial court abused its discretion in allowing testimony of a remark made by one of the assailants in the second incident. We affirm.
