State v. Moore
State v. Moore, 2025 UT App 26 (Christiansen Forster, J.)
Criminal
The Utah Court of Appeals held:
- Counsel did not perform deficiently when he (1) chose not to object on rule 404(b) grounds to testimony regarding an alleged rape, (2) failed to object to inadmissible hearsay, or (3) did not object to CJC assessment forms going back with the jury for deliberations.
- Practice tip: The court “questioned” whether rule 403 of the Utah Rules of Evidence applies in the context of rule 17(k) of the Utah Rules of Criminal Procedure.
