Description

OPINION ""¶1"" Defendant Kenneth Martinez appeals his conviction for solicitation of aggravated burglary on the basis that the trial court committed reversible error when it excluded testimony from five defense witnesses who were prepared to offer their opinion or knowledge of Defendant's reputation for honesty and truthfulness. Defendant argues that under Rules 11-404(A)(1) and 11-608 NMRA, such evidence should have been admitted. We agree with Defendant and reverse his conviction on the ground that the trial court's exclusion of evidence of Defendant's character for honesty and truthfulness was reversible error. We remand for a new trial.
