State v. Carmie Josette Nelson
Syllabus
armie Nelson was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The court of appeals affirmed the conviction, holding the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting autopsy photos of the victim. This Court reverses and holds that the limited probative value of the photos was substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice under Rule 403, SCRE.
