Abstrakt: The article discusses the Martin v. State case. The Supreme Court of Wyoming decided the case on May 10, 2007. The case is about the conviction of Russell James Martin for attempted murder in the second degree. He contended that the trial court erred both in admitting certain hearsay evidence and in improperly instructing the jury on the use of that evidence. He also claimed that the trial court erred in allowing a mental health expert to invade the province of the jury by offering testimony regarding his intent to kill his wife.
