State of Arizona v. Victor A. Arias Gomez

Syllabus

1. Did the trial court err by denying defendant's request for in-camera review of the victim's mental health records where the request lacked specificity as to the date, provider, and location of the records? 2. Did the trial court abuse its discretion by denying defendant's motion to disqualify the prosecutor for a conflict of interest and the appearance of impropriety where the prosecutor held pretrial meetings with the victim and the prosecutor's paralegal was called as a witness regarding the victim's disclosure of additional abuse? 3. Did prosecutorial error occur where the state asked a witness if the victim was a \truthful person\ and the prosecutor remarked in closing that she had not been present for the victim's statement, that she disagreed with defense counsel, and that defendant's evidence raised only \suggestions\ of doubt? 4. Did the trial court err by precluding defendant's introduction of portions of his statement to police in which he denied the victim's sexual abuse allegations? 5. Did the trial court err in admitting testimony by the state's expert witness on the issue of false allegations made by child sexual abuse victims while precluding defendant's evidence pertaining to a scientific study regarding the accuracy rates of adults in determining whether children are telling the truth?
