Case Synopsis

In an appeal regarding a conviction for fleeing the scene of an accident involving personal injury, the Nevada Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's ruling. The court held that the district court appropriately admitted evidence of the appellant's alcohol consumption and intoxication, deeming it relevant to his motive for fleeing the accident scene. Additionally, the court ruled that when a defendant directly introduces evidence of bad acts, it falls upon the defendant to request an instruction limiting the jury's consideration of such evidence.
