People v. Meyers

(Modified upon denial of rehearing 3/4/19.) Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of 2 counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm in the direction of a peace officer. Eyewitness testimony of officers, and other evidence, was sufficient for conviction. Court properly admitted photograph of bullet hole in garage, as it was relevant in light of officer's and evidence technician's testimony of what they personally observed in the garage at the scene. Probative value of evidence in showing direction of bullet that officer saw Defendant discharge from his gun substantially outweighed any danger of unfair prejudice. No error in prosecutor's statement to jury that the officers were brave. (MIKVA and PIERCE, concurring.)
