DURHAM, Chief Justice:
¶ 1 Two brothers, Jordan and Terril Calli-ham (collectively, “the Calliham brothers”), were convicted of murder for the killing of their friend and classmate James Eaton (“Eaton”). Jordan Calliham (“Jordan”) appeals, 1 claiming that the trial court erred in denying his request for a psychological evaluation of the State’s primary witness and in refusing to sever his trial from that of his brother. Jordan also claims the trial court abused its discretion by admitting into evidence photographs of the crime scene. We affirm Jordan’s conviction.
