W.R.E. 704
Opinion on ultimate issue
(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.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
