• 2025 ND 78

Syllabus

A criminal judgment entered after a jury conviction of criminal mischief and stalking is affirmed. Without foundation testimony from the insurer, an insurer's letters regarding valuation of property constitute inadmissible hearsay if offered to prove value of the property at issue. Under the property owner rule, an owner may testify about the value of his property even if his opinion relies upon information from another. A district court's evidentiary error is harmless if improperly admitted evidence amounted to cumulative evidence.
