| Topic: | Aggravated assault - Cross-examination - Photograph - M.R.E. 401 - M.R.E. 402 - M.R.E. 403 |
| Summary of the Facts: | Alex Bradley was convicted of aggravated assault and sentenced to eight years. He appeals. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Issue 1: Cross-examination Bradley argues that the court abused its discretion in limiting his cross-examination of a witness which denied him his right to confront a witness against him. The question asked of the witness was improper, as it called for a conclusion of law. Issue 2: Photograph Bradley argues that the court admitted into evidence a photograph depicting fresh blood on the pavement of the Fred’s parking lot, in violation of the M.R.E. 401, 402, and 403. The photograph is clearly relevant within the meaning of Rules 401 and 402. In addition, it appears that Bradley agrees that the photograph is relevant, as evidenced by his argument that the trial court violated Rule 403, which applies to relevant evidence. Also, the photograph was not prejudicial to Bradley in any way. |
