A-17-0154, State of Nebraska v. Justin Lindberg (Appellant)
Hall County, District Court Judge Teresa K. Luther
Attorney for Appellant: Robert W. Alexander (Hall County Public Defender)
Attorney for Appellee: Douglas J. Peterson, Joe Meyer (Attorney General’s Office)
Criminal Action: Domestic assault in the third degree
Action Taken by Trial Court: After a bench trial, the county court found Lindberg guilty of the above offense. Lindberg appealed, and the district court affirmed his conviction.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Lindberg assigns that the district court erred in (1) failing to address his assigned error that the county court erred in overruling his objection to Deputy Kleensang testifying to M.L.’s hearsay statements because such testimony violated his Sixth Amendment right to confront accusers, and (2) finding that M.L.’s statements to Deputy Kleensang fell into the excited utterance exception to the hearsay rule.
