Green v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of capital murder. Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Appellant appealed, arguing for his sole point on appeal that the circuit court abused its discretion by admitting into evidence a photograph of the victim at the crime scene. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the photograph, as the photograph corroborated a police officer’s testimony about the victim’s state and enabled the jurors to better understand his testimony about the crime scene.
