State v. Delacruz-Gomez

Summary

The court held that the trial court properly admitted the names of the felony charges in the defendant's arrest warrant because they helped establish that the officers were acting in the performance of their duties, and their strong probative value outweighed the potential prejudice. The court held that identifying the arresting unit as the Violent Fugitive Task Force was irrelevant and unfairly prejudicial, but concluded that the error did not substantially sway the jury's verdict. The judgment affirming the defendant's convictions was therefore affirmed.
