State v. Moore 2023 ND 10 Highlight: A criminal judgment is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4). |

State v. Rademacher 2023 ND 9 Highlight: Under N.D.R.Crim.P. 43(a)(1)(B), a defendant has a right to be present in the courtroom at every critical stage of trial. This right is not absolute. A defendant need not be present for discussions about routine administrative matters, logistical, procedural and housekeeping matters, and rulings on evidence and objections. To request the amendment of a rule, a petitioner must file properly under N.D.R.Proc.R. § 3.1. |

State v. Krall 2023 ND 8 Highlight: The district court’s determination of a witness’s credibility is deferred to and conflicts in testimony are resolved in favor of affirming the court’s decision in an appeal from a decision on a motion to suppress evidence. The inevitable discovery doctrine applies only when the police have not acted in bad faith to accelerate the discovery of evidence and the prosecution proves the evidence would have been found without the unlawful activity. |
