State v. Green
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the district court denying Defendant's motion to prevent silent security camera footage from being made available to the jury during deliberations and subsequent judgment of guilty to the charge of deliberate homicide, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion.
After a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of deliberate homicide and sentenced to a 100-year term of imprisonment. On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court abused its discretion by allowing silent video footage from the neighbor's security camera to go into the jury room during deliberations. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that where the camera footage at issue was neither testimonial in nature nor cared any substantial risk of undue emphasis, it was not an abuse of discretion for the district court to provide the jury with unrestricted access to this footage during deliberations.
