“Under this rule the triers of fact can be provided a portrayal of the events in question, more likely to serve the ends of justice in that the jury is not called upon to speculate on the cause or reasons for the officers' subsequent activities.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. States · State v. Morgan“[T]he scope and manner of opening statement is largely within the discretion of the [trial] court which necessarily must rely upon the good faith of counsel in making opening statements to a jury as to material facts they intend to prove.... When the issue concerns the trial court’s exercise of discretion relative to opening statements, no error requiring reversal will be found if a challenged statement refers to arguably admissible evidence and the reference was made in good faith with a reasonable expectation the evidence will be produced.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Lane · State v. Davenport“evidence as to the informant's observations was 'arguably admissible', as the officer's testimony was offered not to prove that the information received was true but rather to explain his surveillance of the house.”
