How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that harsher sanctions are permissible \if the record demonstrates [the superior court] could have found lesser sanctions insufficient\
• finding that improperly admitted other-acts evidence did not constitute fundamental, prejudicial error “[g]iven the nature and extent” of the other evidence presented
• holding appellate court will not “disturb” a superior court’s decision to preclude evidence “as long as the record demonstrates [the court] could have found lesser sanctions insufficient”
• concluding the defendant’s “failure to exercise due diligence could reasonably be construed as ‘willful misconduct,’” and therefore the superior court “did not err in precluding [a defense witness’s] testimony on that basis”
• finding no abuse of discretion for restricting testimony when an expert did not disclose data because the State had \no fair opportunity to refute\ the testimony
• court's admission of expert testimony will not be overturned absent showing of abuse of discretion
