State v. Pound
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of felony sexual assault against his girlfriend’s four-year-old daughter. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, holding (1) the district court did not err when it found that the victim was unable to testify in open court in the presence of Defendant; and (2) the district court properly applied Montana law and did not abuse its discretion when it allowed the State to present the testimony of a forensic interview about the victim’s statements that were inconsistent with the victim’s trial testimony.
