Chet Elliot Walker v. the State of Wyoming

Summary

The court affirmed Walker’s convictions, holding that the district court properly excluded most evidence concerning his wife’s conduct because it lacked a sufficient connection to Walker’s intent and risked confusing the jury, while allowing adequate impeachment and defense evidence. The court also held that the evidence was sufficient to prove witness intimidation because Walker’s demands, threats, and surrounding circumstances supported an inference that he intended to influence or intimidate the witness. The court reversed and remanded for correction of the written misdemeanor sentences and clarification of the order in which the sentences must be served.
