1Opinion of the Court

KITTREDGE, J.:

Brentley Blalock was tried on two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor. Blalock was acquitted on one count and convicted on the second count. Blalock appeals his conviction, arguing the trial judge committed reversible error by allowing the state to present extrinsic evidence in connection with a prior inconsistent statement by his wife, Lee Blalock. We affirm, finding the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the evidence. 1
