McLaury v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of sexual assault in the first degree. Defendant appealed, asserting that the district court abused its discretion by allowing a sexual assault nurse examiner to testify as to statements made by the victim during the physical examination of her. Specifically, Defendant contended that the district court did not properly apply the exception and foundational requirements of Wyo. R. Evid. 803(4), which allows a hearsay exception for statements for purposes of medical diangosis. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it determined that statements made by the victim during her sexual assault examination were admissible under Rule 803(4).
