3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Paugh v. State · State v. Langford“After considering the evidence in question, we are aware that the photographs depict the brutality and viciousness of the crimes committed. However, we do not believe that they would have aroused the jurors’ passions any more than other evidence of Gollehon’s conduct. As we stated in State v. Doll (1985), 214 Mont. 390, 400 , 692 P.2d 473, 478 , “[w]e will not demand that a trial be sanitized to the point that important and probative evidence must be excluded.” We, therefore, hold that the District Court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted the autopsy photographs into evidence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Close“The standard of review for evidentiary rulings is whether the district court abused its discretion. The court has broad discretion to determine whether or not evidence is relevant and admissible, and absent a showing of an abuse of discretion, the trial court’s determination will not be overturned.”
