Appeal From
Case No. 2021-CR-00319
Northeast Judicial District, Walsh County
Barbara L. Whelan
2023 ND 106991 N.W.2d 71
Oral Argument 5/2/2023

Highlight

The district court abuses its discretion when it allows testimony regarding statements made by a victim before the victim testifies and is subject to cross-examination regarding those statements.

Allowing testimony regarding statements made by a victim before the victim testifies and is subject to cross-examination regarding those statements will be considered harmless if the testimony of the witnesses was merely cumulative to that of the victim.

Substantial evidence existed to support the conviction and is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
