CHEYENNE -- The second trial of former Casper businessman Tony Cercy in November, in which he was convicted of third-degree sexual assault and sentenced to a six- to eight-year prison term, violated his Fifth Amendment right to not be tried twice for the same crime, his attorney told the Wyoming Supreme Court on Tuesday...
The case started Sept. 4 when Casper police detectives were called to the Wyoming Medical Center emergency room in response to a possible sexual assault.
Tony Cercy was convicted in a trial in Hot Springs County in November for third-degree sexual assault of a woman at his former Alcova house in June 2017.
The jury's decision boils down to whether the prosecution has proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt to convict Tony Cercy -- who is presumed innocent.
