Huckfeldt v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of sexual assault in the first degree and sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree. Defendant appealed the district court's denial of a continuance motion and the court's admission of uncharged misconduct evidence of his prior conviction for sexual assault of a minor. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion (1) when it denied Defendant's motion for a continuance of the trial due to a missing witness and in concluding that the unavailable testimony lacked materiality; and (2) in admitting into evidence testimony of the victim that resulted in a prior conviction of Defendant for sexual assault.
