A-23-22 State v. Quintin D. Watson (087251)

Was it harmless error to admit the police officer’s testimony that he consulted with another police department before filing criminal charges against defendant, did the officer’s testimony narrating a surveillance video deprive defendant of a fair trial, and was it plain error to allow the victim to identify defendant for the first time in-court during the trial when the victim previously had identified a different individual as the perpetrator during a photo array?
