State v. Johnson

Syllabus

Russell Levon Johnson was charged with kidnapping and first-degree domestic violence. Johnson was convicted of the domestic violence charge but acquitted of the kidnapping charge. He appeals his conviction, arguing the circuit court erred in admitting evidence of conduct in other jurisdictions without instructing the jury that the domestic violence charge had to be supported by evidence within the jurisdiction. We reverse and remand.
