Wright claimed the photograph was disclosed late, violating discovery rules, and was unduly prejudicial. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, holding that the State disclosed the photograph as soon as practicable, satisfying Rule 25.08, and that Wright's failure to seek a continuance undermined his claim of prejudice.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=207496","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-martin-wright-appellant-111602","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
