Idaho v. Baeza
Annotate this CaseMarcelino Baeza appealed his conviction for one count of lewd conduct with a minor child under the age of sixteen involving his five-year-old niece, J.C. Baeza argued that allowing J.C. to testify at trial through closed-circuit television violated his due process right to a fair trial and presumption of innocence and that the district court failed to adequately consider the relative rights of the parties under Idaho Code section 9-1806 when it ordered the alternative method for presenting J.C.’s testimony. Finding no due process violation, the Supreme Court affirmed the conviction.
