Description
A jury convicted appellant, Shawn Burgess, on several counts of criminal offenses. On appeal, his primary challenge is to the decision of the trial court denying his motion in limine "to present expert testimony on the psychological factors of memory and perception that affect the accuracy of eyewitness identifications especially when it involves cross-racial identification." We hold that because Mr. Burgess failed to identify his expert witness, the experts qualifications, and the particular opinions to be rendered (together with the bases for the opinions), the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion.
