State v. Lotter
Annotate this Case
After a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of the attempted deliberate homicide of her husband, Mike. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err when it (1) excluded Appellant's proposed expert witness testimony from two expert witnesses about the behaviors of individuals in abusive relationships and the experts' diagnoses of Appellant with post-traumatic stress disorder; and (2) admitted Mike's alleged prior inconsistent statement to a volunteer firefighter responding to a medical emergency when Mike could not remember making the statement, as the statement was admissible under Mont. R. Evid. 801(d)(a)(A).
