State v. Rogers
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of sexual intercourse without consent, partner or family member assault, unlawful restraint, and violation of a no contact order. The district court sentenced Defendant to forty years imprisonment with twenty years suspended. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the district court erred by allowing the State to question Defendant about his prior criminal history once he testified about the alleged victim's prior acts of violence against him, as the introduction of Defendant's criminal history, including convictions overturned by an appellate court for legal error, violated Defendant's right to a fair trial.
