People v. Arenda
Michigan Supreme Court
Decided December 23, 1982No. Docket Nos. 65578, 65579. (Calendar No. 15)PublishedCited by 82 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtColeman, J.
Defendant was convicted by a jury of three counts of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree. 1 The Court of Appeals reversed the convictions based on the erroneous admission of similar-acts evidence. 2 Justice Kavanagh’s opinion would hold that the similar-acts evidence was properly admitted but that reversal is required because of the erroneous exclusion of certain evidence offered by defendant.
Our conclusions are that MCL 750.520j; MSA 28.788(10), the rape-shield law, is not unconstitutional and that reversal is not required on the facts before us in this case._
