CRIME SCENE PHOTOS NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON AND RON GOLDMAN TRIAL

The judge also said four crime scene photos showing Nicole Simpson's body, which have already been shown to the jury, are admissible. Another photo of Nicole Simpson's face and neck is 'a horrible photo,' but can be shown to the jury, Ito ruled. Ito said deputy coroner Irwin Golden's initial autopsy reports did not mention all those injuries - a factor the judge also noted for several other photographs. The judge said two photos depicting injuries to Goldman's ear, neck and throat were 'graphic and disturbing,' but 'clearly relevant to the nature of the struggle' between Goldman and his killer. Over and over again in his ruling, Ito said the photos' 'probative value outweighs their prejudicial impact.' Many of the photos were relevant to the nature and duration of the attack and the victims' struggle, Ito said. The jury also will be allowed to see 23 photos of injuries sustained by Goldman, including stab wounds to his lungs, neck, hands and thigh. The photos show a 'severe cutting wound' to her neck that the prosecution maintains was inflicted when the killer put his foot on her back while she was lying helpless on the ground, pulled her head back by the hair and slit her throat down to the bone. Ito said prosecutors will be allowed to show the jury 17 photos of Nicole Simpson's injuries, including overall shots of her body, hands, back and neck. He could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted. Simpson's attorneys did not want the jury to see the photos, saying they feared the gruesome pictures would 'inflame the passions of the jury so they are more likely to convict than acquit.' Simpson, 47, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the Jstabbing and slashing deaths of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, 35, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, 25, outside her Brentwood condominium. In a written ruling, Superior Court Judge Lance Ito said some of the photos are 'graphic,' 'disturbing' and 'horrible,' but noted their value as evidence outweighs the risk that their graphic nature will prejudice jurors against Simpson.
