State v. Robertson

DENNIS, Justice,

concurring in part, and dissenting in part.

I respectfully dissent from the reversal of the criminal mischief conviction. The investigating officer testified that the defendant initially told him that she witnessed one or more deputies unlawfully enter her residence. This constituted evidence of an intentional giving of a false report of a crime. The fact that the defendant later recanted her story provides no defense to the prosecution.
