Jensen v. DeLand

HOWE, Associate Chief Justice:

Plaintiff Richard L. Jensen appeals from the dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 65B(i).

Plaintiff was convicted of aggravated robbery, a first degree felony under Utah Code Ann. § 76-6-302 (1978) (amended 1989). He appealed to this Court, contending that there had been a violation of Utah Rule of Evidence 404(b) at his trial through the admission of evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts contained in letters written by him. We affirmed his conviction in State v. Jensen, 727 P.2d 201 (Utah 1986).
