State v. Hudon

The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s conviction of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, holding that there was no error in the court below that warranted reversal of the conviction.Specifically, the Court held (1) the district court did not err by denying Defendant’s motion to exclude evidence because of an asserted discovery violation by the State; (2) the district court did not err by granting the State’s motion in limine to prevent Defendant from arguing that the State had not fulfilled its discovery obligations or by disallowing Defendant’s discussion of the subject to the motion in limine in his closing argument; (3) even if the district court erred by allowing the State to amend the information less than five days before trial any error was harmless; and (4) the district court did not abuse its discretion by admitting a State exhibit at trial when the redacted version of the exhibit was not provided to Defendant until the morning of the first day of trial.
