North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Reiswig

August 1, 20242024 ND 153

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Reiswig’s corpus delicti motion to dismiss and the resulting judgment entered after her conditional guilty plea. Applying a trustworthiness approach, it held that the surrounding evidence sufficiently corroborated Reiswig’s confession that she had sex with the minor because the evidence independently supported the confession’s essential circumstances and reliability.
