Rule 704. Opinion on ultimate issue (Effective until August 1, 2019.)

Testimony in the form of an opinion or inference otherwise admissible is not objectionable because it embraces an ultimate issue to be decided by the trier of fact.

Rule 704. Opinion on ultimate issue (Effective August 1, 2019.)

(a) In General — Not Automatically Objectionable. — An opinion is not objectionable just because it embraces an ultimate issue.

(b) Exception. — In a criminal case, an expert witness must not state an opinion about whether the defendant did or did not have a mental state or condition that constitutes an element of the crime charged. Nothing in this rule prohibits admission of testimony that would otherwise be admissible under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 7-11-303 and § 7-11-304.
