Description

Defendant-appellant, Derrick Smith [hereinafter "Smith"], appeals from the first circuit courts August 23, 2004 judgment convicting Smith of the offense of second degree murder, in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes [hereinafter "HRS"] § 707-701.5 (1993).On appeal, Smith argues that: (1) the circuit court erred by admitting his statement, "Do you want me to drop that baby over the balcony," which was uttered seven weeks prior to the death of the baby; (2) the circuit court erred by admitting a full-length photograph of Smith into evidence; and (3) the circuit court committed plain error by allowing the deputy prosecuting attorney to engage in prosecutorial misconduct by using, during his opening statements and closing arguments, PowerPoint slides displaying photographs of Smith and the baby and containing inappropriate and prejudicial text.
