North Dakota Supreme Court
State v. Ziegler
April 24, 20252025 ND 78
Summary
The court affirmed Ziegler’s convictions for criminal mischief and stalking. It held that the insurer’s valuation letters were inadmissible hearsay without testimony establishing their foundation, but the error was harmless because the victim’s properly admitted owner testimony independently established the damage amount and the letters were cumulative. The court also held that sufficient evidence supported the stalking conviction because repeated acts over several months demonstrated identity and continuity of purpose.
