State v. Elmer G.

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for violating a restraining order and rejected his claims of prosecutorial impropriety. It held that the evidence permitted the jury to find that he knew the order limited contact with his children to weekly supervised visits, that his text messages and letter violated that limitation, and that the letter was sent while the order remained effective. The court also concluded that the prosecutor’s questions and closing arguments addressed credibility and permissible inferences rather than improperly bolstering witnesses or appealing to passion and sympathy.
