    546 So. 2d 705 (Ala. Crim. App. 1989)   Cited 16 times
    In Williams v. State, 546 So.2d 705 (Ala.Crim.App. 1989), a case relied on by the State, the court admitted into evidence a mug shot of Williams that showed the discrepancy between his appearance at trial and his appearance at the time of the offense; however, the photograph was relevant because it was supported by testimony from witnesses.

    However, "[f]light has long been held by our courts to be admissible as tending to show an accused's consciousness of guilt." Casher v. State, 368 So.2d 565, 567 (Ala.Cr.App.), writ denied, 368 So.2d 567 (Ala. 1979). "Flight is a circumstance which the jury may consider in determining guilt."
