State v. Meyer

The district court affirmed Defendant’s conviction of aggravated DUI, agreeing with the justice court that evidence of Defendant’s prior DUI convictions proved an element of the charged crime of aggravated DUI that must be determined by the jury. On appeal, Defendant argued that it was impermissibly prejudicial to his interests to allow the jury to know that he was twice convicted of DUI. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because proof of the prior DUIs was required as an element of the offense of aggravated DUI, the evidence of prior DUIs was not erroneously admitted.
