Description
On October 14, 1994, appellant and Bill Broderick were both patrons of the Buckhorn Bar in Laramie, Wyoming. During the early morning hours, Mr. Broderick was shot from behind outside his home and, in her defense, appellant accused him of rape. Unmoved by her claims of self-defense, a jury found appellant guilty of aggravated assault. Although the district court conducted a "Dean type" inquiry, appellant now complains she was victimized by the improper admission of prior bad acts evidence. Rejecting that argument and claims of prosecutorial misconduct, we affirm the conviction.
