Most-quoted passages

““ ‘As a general rule photographs of persons, things, and places, when duly verified and shown by intrinsic evidence to be faithful representations of the objects they purport to portray, are admissible in evidence as aids to the jury in understanding the evidence; and whether a particular photograph or groups of photographs should be admitted in evidence rests in the sound discretion of the trial court and its ruling on the question of the admissibility of such evidence will be upheld unless it clearly appears that its discretion has been abused.’ Syl. pt. 1, Thrasher v. Amere Gas Utilities Co., 138 W.Va. 166 , 75 S.E.2d 376 (1953), appeal dismissed, 347 U.S. 910 , 74 S.Ct. 478 , 98 L.Ed. 1067 (1954).” Syllabus Point 2, State v.
