Heading: taped phone conversations

Text: Appellant argues that the trial court erred in allowing the Commonwealth to introduce four taped phone calls from jail between Appellant and her daughter, Khoree. Appellant argues that she was unfairly prejudiced by the last-minute production of the tapes, as the defense did not have enough time to adequately review all phone calls in their entirety. Appellant's argument on this point is now moot, as she will have sufficient time to review the tapes for retrial if necessary. Appellant further contends that the admission of only certain portions of the tapes referring to Ju'monie in a derogatory manner were taken out of context and only further served to prejudice her before the jury. Likewise, the defense will now have an opportunity to review the tapes in their entirety and make motions pertaining to any relevant portions it wishes to have admitted into or excluded from evidence.
