State v. Ngoy
State v. Ngoy, 2025 UT App 106 (Christiansen Forster, J.)
Criminal
The Utah Court of Appeals held:
- The district court did not err in denying Defendant’s motion for directed verdict.
- The district court did not plainly err in admitting expert testimony.
- Practice tip: The relevant question regarding witness identification is not whether the type of identification is, by definition, reliable, but instead, whether the circumstances surrounding a specific identification make it such that a jury could reasonably rely upon it.
