SUMMITT v. STATE

No. 14022.

697 P.2d 1374 (1985)

Vernon SUMMITT, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Nevada.

March 26, 1985.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Morgan D. Harris, Public Defender, and E. Lee Thomson, Deputy Public Defender, Clark County, Las Vegas, for appellant.

Bryan McKay, Atty. Gen., Carson City, Robert J. Miller, Dist. Atty., and James Tufteland, Deputy Dist. Atty., Clark County, Las Vegas, for respondent.

OPINION

MOWBRAY, Justice:

A jury found appellant Vernon Summitt guilty of two counts of sexual assault. He seeks reversal of his judgment of conviction asserting several assignments of error, only one of which we find to have merit: that the district judge erred in excluding testimony centered about a prior similar sexual experience of the victim. Accordingly, we reverse and remand the case for a new trial.
