- explaining that “the best evidence of whether material constitutes child pornography is the material itself,” as a jury may rely on its observations and common experiences to “assess the age of the children depicted”
- “A proper foundation for the admission of an exhibit may be laid either through identification by a witness, or through establishment of a chain of possession, and it is not necessary to require both methods.”
- “Just as the trier of fact can determine what constitutes obscenity [citation], so can it, based on everyday observations and common experiences, assess the age of the children depicted with the requisite degree of certainty to satisfy the standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”
