Hudson v. State

The trial court properly allowed the State to show the jury fliers the defendant had distributed and a picture of the sign he had displayed outside his child's mother's business in his trial for criminal trespass based on his repeated entry into the business, since the evidence demonstrated the state of the relationship between the two and was highly relevant to show the defendant's abusive mindset towards the child's mother.

Anthony Rudyard Hudson with charged with having committed criminal trespass, by entering the premises of another person after he had received notice that such entry was forbidden.1 A jury returned a guilty verdict, and a judgment of conviction was entered thereon. In this appeal, Hudson challenges the admission of certain evidence and the propriety of a jury instruction. We affirm.

The state presented the following evidence at trial. The premises at issue was a hair salon that was owned and operated by a woman with whom Hudson had fathered a child out of wedlock. The child was born in 2008 or 2009. In October 2009, a superior court denied Hudson’s petition to obtain rights to the child. And as of the date of the criminal trespass, February 1, 2012, Hudson had not legitimated the child, had not obtained legal custody of her, and had not secured any visitation rights. While the child’s mother had initially allowed Hudson to spend time with their daughter, around September 2011, she abruptly ended the visitations for reasons not disclosed at trial.
