    The appellate court found, in this case of first impression, that the trial court did not have jurisdiction to address an untimely motion for the return of property filed on behalf of defendant's wife as defendant's failure to file such a motion during the pendency of his criminal proceedings resulted in waiver of the issue. The superior court vacated the trial court's order.

    Plaintiff's inconsistent verdict challenge could not be corrected in pre-trial proceedings or during trial and only ripened after the verdict was announced; therefore, she properly raised the challenge for the first time in a post-trial motion. The superior court affirmed a trial court order granting plaintiff a new trial.
