Heading: Refusal of sex-paraphernalia evidence

Text: When the police entered Mr. Flick's shop, they found and photographed certain sex paraphernalia. One of the photographs was introduced by the defense in connection with its proof that David and Barbara Flick slept separately; that she was having an affair with another man; and that Mr. Hodge was incensed over discovering the paraphernalia, which led to the argument to which he testified as having occurred on the evening of October 8. The Trial Court excluded a second photograph of the paraphernalia because it was cumulative. Mr. Hodge simply states in his argument that the photograph was not cumulative without any description of the differences and the prejudice resulting from the photograph being held inadmissible. There was no abuse of discretion.
