GOODWINE v. U.S.

No. 08-CM-1044.

990 A.2d 965 (2010)

Phyllis GOODWINE, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided March 18, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gaillard T. Hunt, Silver Spring, MD, for appellant.

Richard DiZinno, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Jeffrey A. Taylor, United States Attorney at the time the brief was filed, Roy W. McLeese III, John P. Mannarino, and J. Thomas Spiggle, Assistant United States Attorneys, were on the brief, for appellee.

Before RUIZ and KRAMER, Associate Judges, and SCHWELB, Senior Judge.

KRAMER, Associate Judge:

Appellant, Phyllis Goodwine, appeals from her simple assault conviction, arguing that the trial court committed reversible error in admitting certain hearsay statements and evidence of her prior bad acts, as well as in excluding the details of the victim's prior convictions. Appellant also asserts that an alleged recantation by the victim and the absence of a witness at trial created reasonable doubt as to her guilt.1
