State v. Barnslater

OPINION

WRIGHT, Judge.

Appellant challenges his convictions of engaging in a pattern of harassing conduct, MinmStat. § 609.749, subd. 5 (2008), and violation of an order for protection, Minn.Stat. § 518B.01, subd. 14(d)(1) (2008), arguing that the district court abused its discretion by admitting evidence of prior acts of domestic abuse as relationship evidence pursuant to Minn.Stat. § 634.20. Alternatively, appellant argues that the district court committed reversible error by failing to give a cautionary instruction to the jury regarding the relationship evidence. We affirm.
