State v. Courtney G.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of two counts of sexual assault in the first degree and two counts of risk of injury to a child, holding that there was no error in the proceedings below.
On appeal, Defendant asserted that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of the victim's out-of-court demeanor and that the prosecutor made improper remarks during rebuttal and closing argument. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the allegedly improper admission of the victim's demeanor testimony was harmless; and (2) two of the prosecutor's remarks made during closing argument and rebuttal were improper, but these improprieties did not deprive Defendant of a fair trial.
