- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Gray (defendant) was charged with various gun-related offenses. At trial, the prosecution (plaintiff) sought to introduce a photograph of Gray holding a gun. A witness for the prosecution who had seen Gray before testified that the photograph had been downloaded from a phone belonging to Simmons, Gray’s passenger when both were taken into custody, and appeared to be of Gray holding a gun. The district court admitted the photographs over Gray’s objection. Gray was convicted, and he appealed.
