Heading: whether the trial court erred in admitting summary evidence presented by the state.

Text: ¶ 81. Prior to trial, counsel for Farris filed a motion in limine regarding summary evidence. The motion was overruled, and Farris argues that the trial court erred in allowing the State to present summaries of payments made from the Diamond estate which had no probative value and prejudiced the jury against Farris. Farris alleges that the trial court mistakenly allowed the State to submit summaries which contained false or misleading evidence. ¶ 82. The record reflects some mistakes were initially made in the summary evidence charts offered by the State. The trial court noted the mistakes and instructed the prosecution to make the proper corrections. The record reflects these mistakes were corrected by introducing the conservatorship checkbook. Summaries of voluminous evidence are admissible under M.R.E. 1006, according to the trial court's discretion. Reversal of a trial court's evidentiary findings may only occur when there is a demonstrable abuse of the trial court's discretion. Johnston v. State, 567 So.2d 237, 238 (Miss.1990). Finding no such abuse of discretion, the issue fails.
