“photographs of bodies may nevertheless be admitted into evidence in criminal cases where they have probative value and where they are not so gruesome or used in such a way as to be overly prejudicial or inflammatory.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“knowingly created a great risk of death to many persons.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“[Pjhotographs of a victim have eviden-tiary value when they aid in describing the circumstances of the killing ... or supplement or clarify witness testimony. The admissibility of photographs rests within the sound discretion of the trial court. Moreover, the decision of the trial judge will be upheld unless there has been an abuse of discretion. This standard is very difficult to meet. In fact, the “discretion of the trial judge runs toward almost unlimited admissibility regardless of the gruesomeness, repetitiveness, and the extenuation of probative value.””
