  • 2020 ND 118

Syllabus

A party may not challenge as error a ruling or other trial proceeding invited by that party. The obvious error analysis under N.D.R.Crim.P. 52(b) does not apply to errors waived through the doctrine of invited error. This Court reviews an alleged inconsistent verdict by examining both the law of the case and the evidence to determine whether the verdict is logical and probable or whether it is perverse and clearly contrary to the evidence. Under N.D.R.Crim.P. 52(a), an error that does not affect substantial rights is harmless and must be disregarded.
