S059191A State v. Leistiko
352 Or. 622
Or.2012Background
- Defendant Leistiko sought reconsideration of our State v. Leistiko decision; petition filed August 27, 2012 and considered October 10, 2012.
- We allowed reconsideration, modified the opinion, and adhered to the opinion as modified.
- The first issue concerned whether Leistiko had pursued two suppression/jury-unanimity issues in the Court of Appeals and on review.
- We clarified that we limited review to the admission of uncharged misconduct evidence and Leistiko pursued only that issue on the merits in this court.
- The second issue involved whether admission of evidence of an uncharged rape affected convictions beyond the two rape counts, including other crimes.
- On reconsideration we declined to address an alternative argument raised for the first time and clarified footnote language.
