Description

Tammy Jorgensen appeals a judgment convicting her of felony bail-jumping resulting from her failure to appear for a preliminary examination on a charge of operating a vehicle without the owners consent (OMVWOC). Her defense at trial to the court was that she understood the complainant would drop the charge and that she did not have to appear. Her mother testified that Jorgensen told her she believed the charge was being dropped and she did not have to appear at the preliminary hearing. The court sustained the States hearsay objection and struck the testimony. Jorgensen argues that the court improperly excluded evidence that negates her state of mind essential to the crime. Because we conclude that the error was harmless, we affirm the judgment.
