State v. Logan

After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of unlawful sexual contact, unlawful sexual touching, and two counts of assault. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial court did not err in limiting Defendant’s cross-examination of the victims’ mother regarding sexual abuse that the mother experienced as a child; (2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant’s motion for a mistrial after a fragment of a police interview that the parties had agreed to redact was mistakenly played for the jury; (3) the trial court did not commit obvious error in failing to excuse or inquire further of a juror who worked for the same company as Defendant after finding that the juror and Defendant did not recognize each other; and (4) there was sufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict.
