Kincaid v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed Defendant's conviction for aggravated assault and battery, holding that a new trial was required because the district court abused its discretion by admitting certain testimony that prejudiced Defendant.
After a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty for threatening to use a drawn deadly weapon on his wife. On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court abused its discretion by admitting his wife's testimony about a prior incident between her and Defendant in Park City, Utah because the testimony constituted uncharged misconduct evidence that was improperly admitted. The Supreme Court agreed and reversed, holding that the district court abused its discretion in admitting the Park City testimony and that the testimony prejudiced Defendant.
