Hernandez v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted for possession, delivery, and conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine. On appeal, Defendant challenged the admission of photographic evidence of items in his home containing methamphetamine, arguing that the evidence constituted evidence of uncharged misconduct under Wyo. R. Evid. 404(b) because it suggested that Appellant was manufacturing methamphetamine. The State responded that the evidence was substantive evidence of the crimes charged and was thus not uncharged misconduct evidence. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the challenged evidence because it was intrinsic to the crimes charged and was not uncharged misconduct evidence.
