“Rule 704 of the Military Rules of Evidence deleted the prior restriction against admitting opinion testimony on the ultimate issue of a case. Consequently, an opinion is no longer objectionable merely because it embraces an ultimate issue of the case. See United States v. Tyler [ 17 M.J. 381 (C.M.A.1984) ] supra; United States v. McCoy, 539 F.2d 1050 (5th Cir.1976). Admissibility will depend on the nature of the issue, the circumstances of the case, and judicial discretion. United States v. McCoy, supra, 1063. This relaxation, however, does not apply to opinion testimony on the guilt or innocence of the accused, for such opinions are viewed as unhelpful. Drafters’ Analysis, Military Rules of Evidence, Rule 704. Additionally, allowing Sgt Coleman’s opinion violated the concept that opinion evidence on the truthfulness of a particular witness is inadmissible.”
