State v. Torres
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Simon Torres was convicted of attempted murder and commission of a felony with a firearm. Torres appealed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court (1) did not abuse its discretion in denying Torres's motion in limine to exclude a cell phone video of the shooting and photographs of the victim's gunshot wounds, as Torres did not establish that the photographs were unfairly prejudicial or that the trial court incorrectly determined that the photographs' probative value outweighed this potential prejudice; and (2) did not violate Torres's due process rights during arraignment by failing to advise him that he would receive mandatory consecutive sentences if convicted of both attempted murder and commission of a felony with a firearm.
