Evidence — other acts — consciousness of guilt

Daniel K. Rogers was charged with second-degree sexual assault by use of force, domestic abuse, as a repeater. During the jury trial, the victim testified that several months after the incident for which Rogers was charged, Rogers choked the victim because she decided not to lie about the sexual assault after Rogers asked her to do so. Rogers was found guilty and appeals the judgment of conviction. The issue on appeal is whether the court properly admitted the choking evidence. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
