State v. Guilbert

After William Robinson was shot at a bar, Brady Guilbert (defendant) was seen running from the scene, and two other men were later found shot in a crashed car. Robinson identified Guilbert as the shooter, and two witnesses who knew Guilbert personally, plus a third witness who did not know him but recognized him from a news photo, also identified him. Before trial, Guilbert sought to introduce expert testimony on how stress and after-the-fact information affect memory and eyewitness accuracy, but the trial court excluded it based on precedent holding that jurors already understand these factors. Guilbert was convicted and appealed.
