04/02/92 State Idaho V. John Asa Zimmerman

This is a criminal case. Zimmerman appeals his conviction for lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor under the age of sixteen in violation of I.C. § 18-1508. Zimmerman alleges: (1) that testimony of various witnesses concerning out-of-court statements of the alleged victim of the lewd and lascivious conduct violated his constitutional right to confront witnesses; (2) that the trial court erred in allowing evidence of uncharged conduct; (3) that the trial court erred by limiting the testimony of Zimmerman's expert witness; (4) that the evidence does not support the verdict of guilt; and, (5) that the cumulative error doctrine requires reversal. We reverse and remand for a new trial on the basis of the trial court's admission of some of the out-of-court statements of the victim.
