State v. Oliver

Defendant Joseph Eugene Oliver appeals his conviction for burglary from the Fourteenth Judicial District, Musselshell County. Oliver was sentenced to eight years in the Montana State Prison with three years suspended.

We affirm.

Three issues are presented for our review:

1. Did the District Court abuse its discretion when it denied defendant’s motion in limine to prohibit testimony of events which occurred in Helena?

2. Did the District Court abuse its discretion when it allowed Officer John Hitchcock to testify as an expert?

3. Was there substantial credible evidence to support the jury’s verdict?
