3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Kenyon · State v. Flinn“THE COURT: The motion for continuance will be denied. I see no reason for it at all. There is no prejudice shown here. The statements made by the little girl, if they have changed at all, really hurt the prosecution rather than hurt the defense. And the only apparent change, as I understand it, is the fact that the young girl said three or four times as opposed to one time in ain a prior statement. So based upon that, there's no showing of prejudice. The motion for continuance will be denied.”
