State v. Morrison
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of one count of gross sexual assault and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Appellant appealed, arguing that the trial court erred in excluding a licensed counselor’s proposed testimony concerning Appellant’s experience of abuse and its effect on her decision-making, as the testimony was relevant to the defense of involuntary conduct. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court did not err in determining that the counselor’s background and his expected testimony regarding Appellant’s history of being abused was not relevant to the defense of involuntariness.
