WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has reinstated the sexual assault conviction for a Las Vegas man.
In an unsigned opinion, the justices said Monday that a federal appeals court was wrong to overturn the conviction of Calvin O. Jackson for assaulting a woman with whom he had a tumultuous decade-long relationship.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Jackson should be freed or re-tried because he was prevented from presenting evidence that his victim made prior claims of sexual assault against him.
