NESBETT, Chief Justice. Appellant was convicted in the district court of the charge of soliciting for the purpose of prostitution in violation of state statute. 1 During the trial, the state, in order to impeach appellant and her witness, offered evidence of their prior convictions for soliciting prostitution in violation of an Anchorage city ordinance. Objections to the admission of evidence of the convictions were made on the ground that violations of municipal ordinances are not "crimes" within the meaning of Civil Rule 43(g)(11) 2 and Civil Rule 43(h)(3) 3 which permit impeachment of a witness by evidence that he has been convicted of a crime. Appellant's objections were overruled.
