Criminal Law-Domestic Assault-Admission of Evidence
Staff Report//March 11, 2026//
Defendant appealed his conviction for domestic assault and property damage, challenging the admissibility of certain evidence and the amount of the judgment entered against him for the Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund.
Where defendant failed to show that the challenged evidence was determinative of the outcome of the trial, the court found no plain error in the admission of the evidence. However, the CVC judgment exceeded the limit authorized by law.
Judgment is affirmed as modified.
