Painter, Judge,

¶1 concurring in part and dissenting in part.

¶2 I concur in everything except the resolution of the third assignment of error. The issue of how many pictures to admit is primarily an issue for the discretion of the trial court, but there must come a time when we say that the line has been crossed. Nine gruesome blowups of the bloody corpse and twenty-six autopsy slides are too much, especially when the major issue in the case is whether the defendant was involved in the crime at all. I would reverse and grant Reaves a new trial.
