Defendant appeals from his convictions for multiple counts of rape in the first degree, ORS 163.375, sodomy in the first degree, ORS 163.405, sexual abuse in the first degree, ORS 163.427, and unlawful sexual penetration in the first degree, ORS 163.411. He сontends that the trial court failed to release potentially exculpatory evidencе from the victim’s CSD files and abused its discretion when it declined to give a requested jury instruction. We affirm.
An extensive recitation of the facts of this case is not necessary. Defendant was charged by indictment with 12 counts of rape in the first degree, three counts of sodomy in the first degree, nine counts of sexual аbuse in the first degree and two counts of unlawful sexual penetration in the first degree, arising from alleged incidents of sexual contact with the victim, his 11-year-old daughter. Before trial, defendant filed a motiоn for discovery of the victim’s confidential CSD files accompanied by an affidavit describing the evidence that he believed would be in the files. The court reviewed the files in camera and released material that it deemed potentially exculpatory to defendant.
On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court failed to releаse “additional and discoverable material within the [victim’s] CSD files.” Without explaining why the trial court’s in camera examination was insufficient, or what additional discoverable documents might be present, he asks this court to rеview the victim’s files to determine if there is additional exculpatory evidence that should have been disclosed to the defense. We decline to do so. Not only has defendant failed to indicаte specifically what evidence the trial court actually released,
Defendant’s remaining assignment of error is that the trial court erred in failing to give a “witness false in part” instruction to the jury. We review the trial court’s decision for аbuse of discretion. Ireland v. Mitchell,
ORS 10.095(3) provides that the jury is to be instructed by the court “on all proper occаsions * * * [t]hat a witness false in one part of the testimony of the witness is to be distrusted in others.” See UCrJI 1024.
Affirmed.
Notes
Because CSD records are, by statute, confidential, ORS 418.770, the trial court must undertake an in camera insрection of the files for exculpatory information, as guided by the defendant’s discovery request. State v. Warren,
In his brief, defendant maintains that the trial court “only disclosed a report concerning an incident in 1988 involving the victim and a boy.” Our review
The requested instruction, Uniform Criminal Jury Instruction Nо. 1024, provides:
“A witness who lies under oath in some part of his or her testimony is likely to lie in other parts of his or her testimony. Therefore, if you find that a witness has lied in some part of his or her testimony, then you may distrust the rеst of that witness’s testimony.
“Sometimes witnesses who are not lying may give incorrect testimony. They may forget matters or may contradict themselves. Also, different witnesses may observe or remember an event diffеrently.
“You have the sole responsibility to determine what testimony, or portions of testimony, you will or will nоt rely on in reaching your verdict.”
Those inconsistencies primarily relate to the victim’s description of the locations where the sexual acts occurred and her recollection of items that might have been present or used during the acts.
