Of course the judge would have allowed it in. Cases routinely allow grisly autopsy photos and the visual results of other deaths in. It's valid and something that jurors need to see. It's the very reason they're there. It's EVIDENCE. And of course the defense tries to fight against such evidence... they don't want the real grisly details exposed to them so they can try to sanitize a murder.
Good grief, you should have seen the grisly photos that were allowed in the Jodi Arias case. A huge gaping neck wound that nearly severed the head on a corpse 5 days dead is not a pretty sight. And of course they were allowed in. It's EVIDENCE.
