State v. Taylor 2022 ND 129

Author: Per Curiam

State v. Pulkrabek 2022 ND 128
Docket No.: 20210332
Filing Date: 6/8/2022
Case Type: Appeal - Criminal - Misc. Felony
Author: Jensen, Jon J.

Highlight: When the defendant does not raise a public challenge to any of the violations he asserts on appeal, this Court concludes any potential error should be treated as a forfeited error, subject to a review as an obvious error under N.D.R.Crim.P. 52(b).

Closures of pretrial hearings implicate the public trial right.

When the district court makes no Waller findings, there is a violation of the Sixth Amendment right to a public trial constituting obvious error.

Given our case law strictly requiring analysis of the Waller factors, we must reverse for a new trial to ensure the fairness, integrity, and public reputation of the justice system.

State v. Thomas 2022 ND 126
Docket No.: 20210339
Filing Date: 6/8/2022
Case Type: Appeal - Criminal - Theft
Author: VandeWalle, Gerald

Highlight: A district court has broad discretion in admitting or excluding evidence at trial.

In deciding whether to exclude evidence under N.D.R.Ev. 403, courts should give the evidence its maximum reasonable probative force and its minimum reasonable prejudicial value.

Failure to assert a claim of obvious error on appeal does not warrant review under the obvious error standard.

Highlight: An issue not properly preserved for appeal is limited to whether the alleged error constitutes obvious error affecting substantial rights.

A substantial right has not been denied unless the violation significantly prejudiced the defendant.

Defendant failed to show how he was significantly prejudiced by the late disclosure or admission of a redacted video.
