Wednesday's Arguments

The Court will hear argument in a land use and a worker's compensation case today. In addition, it will hear argument in State v. Johnson. In that case, the defendant, who was charged with three counts of L&L, put on an alibi-type defense. The state was allowed, over objection, to introduce IRE 404(b) evidence that Mr. Johnson had molested his younger sister when he was 15-16 years old. He challenges that ruling on appeal. He also challenges the exclusion of testimony and physical evidence which the court would not admit because it had not been previously disclosed to the state.
