State v. S. Mann

Summary

The Court affirmed Mann’s conviction for strangulation of a partner or family member. It held that the District Court properly admitted evidence of Mann’s prior abuse and controlling conduct for non-propensity purposes, including explaining the relationship dynamic, S.R.’s conduct, and Mann’s motive, and properly admitted Mann’s recorded statement as a possible admission to the charged offense. The Court also concluded that the evidence was not unfairly prejudicial under Rule 403.
