  2. Wisneski v. State

    Deciding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in letting the State reopen its case to introduce a stipulation into evidence

    [I]t is apparent that the Legislature intended to make it possible to indecently expose oneself in a private place. Wisneski relies on State v. Romero, 103 N.M. 532, 710 P.2d 99 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 103 N.M. 525, 710 P.2d 92 (1985). There, the defendant exposed himself to his girlfriend's minor daughter while in the living room of his home, and to her other minor daughter while in the kitchen of his home.

  3. Wisneski v. State

    398 Md. 578 (Md. 2007)   Cited 24 times
    Reviewing cases from other jurisdictions construing the common law and interpreting Maryland's common law crime of indecent exposure as requiring a public exposure that "was observed, or was likely to have been observed, by one or more persons"

    For some, the classification of the location as "private" is dispositive, as Wisneski asserts. Courts in Indiana and New Mexico, for example, interpreting statutes, have held that an indecent exposure occurring inside a private dwelling was not subject to criminal penalties. See Long v. State, 666 N.E.2d 1258, 1261 (Ind.App. 1996) (holding that, although "a private residence or private club is not a public place," the members-only strip club was a public place because membership only cost one dollar and therefore it was open to the public without restraint); State v. Romero, 103 N.M. 532, 710 P.2d 99, 103 (1985) (conviction for indecent exposure in private residence before two children reversed where "[i]t [wa]s undisputed that the acts of defendant upon which the state relied to establish the convictions of indecent exposure occurred within the confines of a private residence . . . [and] were not subject to being viewed by the public generally," meaning they were not "perpetrated in a place accessible or visible to the general public"). But see United States v. Graham, 56 M.J. 266, 269 (U.S.A.F.2002) ("At the onset, we note that Romero represents the minority view, which we generally decline to follow.

  4. State v. Henderson

    116 N.M. 537 (N.M. 1993)   Cited 14 times
    Providing that appellate courts are reluctant to presume that Legislature disagrees with judicial interpretation of a statute when the Legislature took no steps to change the statute after prior judicial interpretation

    Henderson argues that the Court of Appeals has wrongly narrowed the statute with its interpretation of "public view." The Court of Appeals first interpreted the meaning of "public view" in State v. Romero, 103 N.M. 532, 536, 710 P.2d 99, 103 (Ct.App.), cert. denied, 103 N.M. 525, 710 P.2d 92 (1985). After an extensive inquiry into the history of the offense, the Court determined that the legislature intended the offense to be committed only if it is "intentionally perpetrated in a place accessible or visible to the general public."

  6. State v. Whitaker

    In Whitaker, 793 P.2d at 119, citing Greene, 381 S.E.2d at 311, the court explained the determination of what constitutes a public place is a question of fact.

    Indecent exposure and particular acts and forms of lewdness or gross indecency with respect to sexual relations constituted criminal offenses at common law. State v. Romero, 103 N.M. 532, 534, 710 P.2d 99, 101 (App. 1985), cert. denied, 103 N.M. 525, 710 P.2d 92 (1985); Annot., 96 A.L.R.3d 692, 693 (1979). At common law, the elements of indecent exposure were the willful exposure of the person in a public place in the presence of others.

    Haar , 1990-NMCA-076, ¶ 12, 110 N.M. 517, 797 P.2d 306. {19} We reached the same conclusion in State v. Romero , 1985-NMCA-096, ¶¶ 5-20, 103 N.M. 532, 710 P.2d 99, wherein we analyzed NMSA 1978, Section 30-9-14 (1975, amended 1996), which defined indecent exposure as "a person knowingly and intentionally exposing his primary genital area to public view." We noted that "it is not necessary that the exposure be made with the intent that some particular person see it, but only that the exposure be made where it is subject to being viewed by a person or persons which the law seeks to protect from exposure to such lewd conduct."

  9. State v. Billy M

    Indicating that issues listed in the docketing statement but not addressed in the memorandum in opposition are deemed abandoned

    One issue, listed in the docketing statement but not addressed in the memorandum in opposition, is deemed abandoned. See State v. Romero, 103 N.M. 532, 710 P.2d 99 (Ct.App. 1985).
