New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Enrique Rojas, Appellant
October 25, 200197 N.Y.2d 32

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the trial court properly admitted evidence of the defendant's prior alleged assault because the defense opened the door through its opening statement and cross‑examination. The dissent argued that no door was opened and that the admission was error.
