State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Jennifer Jean Sandvig Thompson, Defendant and Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed Thompson’s conviction, holding that testimony about text messages was relevant, sufficiently authenticated, and admissible as her own statements, and that the photograph of one message was properly admitted for impeachment. Thompson failed to preserve her foundation challenge to the complainant’s testimony and did not establish obvious error. The court remanded only to correct the judgment’s clerical statement that the conviction resulted from a guilty plea.
