Craft v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of two counts of first degree sexual abuse of a minor and one count of second degree sexual abuse of a minor upon his three daughters. Defendant appealed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the prosecutor did not commit misconduct when he questioned a witness about an exhibit that he did not intend to submit into evidence; (2) as to two of the victims, there was not a fatal variance between the charges in the information and the charges proven at trial, and the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions; and (3) the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it prohibited Defendant's expert witness from testifying about his opinion on what type of sexual abuse allegations were made in this case, as the proposed testimony fell outside the range of permissible opinion testimony.
