P. v. Koger CA6
A jury convicted Seth Andrew Koger of inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant, with an enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury. The victim, Michelle R., was Koger’s girlfriend and cohabitant. She refused to testify. The trial court, however, permitted testimony by the emergency room doctor and nurse who treated Michelle a few hours after the incident, in which they related Michelle’s statements implicating Koger in the assault. The trial court also admitted into evidence medical records reflecting Michelle’s statements. It further permitted testimony by Koger’s ex-wife, Christy S., about a prior act of domestic violence by Koger about five years earlier.
