State v. Griego
Annotate this CaseDefendant was charged by information with numerous sex offenses. Defendant filed a motion to change venue based on the amount of pretrial publicity surrounding the case. The district court denied the motion. The court also denied Defendant’s motion to suppress voice identification evidence. After a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of twenty-seven charges. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not err by denying Defendant’s motion for change of venue, as Defendant failed to show anything beyond a bare allegation that the community was infected with prejudice; and (2) the district court did not err by denying Defendant’s motion to suppress voice identification evidence, as the facts indicated sufficient indicia of reliability to allow the voice identification into evidence.
