Montana Supreme Court

State v. H. Johnson

December 17, 2024560 P.3d 1219

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court held that the district court’s admission of the entire 911 call violated Johnson’s Sixth Amendment confrontation right because the caller’s testimonial opinions about her intoxication were inadmissible, but found the error harmless and affirmed the convictions. The Court also held that the written judgment’s “Audit Hearing” condition conflicted with the oral pronouncement of sentence and must be stricken, remanding for that correction.
