Be Careful What You Put On Your Power Point

There are few blogs that are as consistently as interesting as How Appealing.  The blog recently reported “Wash. convictions reversed over PowerPoint show”: The Associated Press has this report on a ruling that the Supreme Court of Washington State issued recently. According to The AP report, “During closing arguments, the deputy Pierce County prosecutor presented a slide show with Glasmann’s mug shot and the word ‘guilty’ superimposed in red letters three times across his face. The justices said unanimously Thursday that was improper, because there was no such image admitted as evidence.”

The Supreme Court’s  5-to-4 decision consists of a lead opinion, an opinion concurring in the judgment, and a dissenting opinion.
