State v. Roy D. L.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of sexual assault in the third degree, sexual assault in the fourth degree, risk of injury to a child, and sexual assault in the first degree, holding that Defendant's claims on appeal lacked merit.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held that (1) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting into evidence a video recording of the victim's forensic interview under the medical treatment exception to the hearsay rule; (2) alleged prosecutorial impropriety did not deprive Defendant of a fair trial; (3) the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions; and (4) the statutes criminalizing sexual assault in the first degree and risk of injury to a child are not unconstitutionally vague as applied to Defendant's conduct.
