Defendant appeals his conviction of murder in the second degree. Section 40A-2-1(B), N.M.S.A. 1953 (2d Repl. Vol. 6). Seven issues are presented. Only one of the issues has merit. That one issue is whether the trial court erred in granting the Assistant District Attorney's motion to exclude opinion evidence concerning the results of a polygraph examination. We hold the exclusion of this evidence was error because of the New Mexico Rules of Evidence, see ยงยง 20-4-101 to 20-4-1102, N.M.S.A. 1953 (Repl. Vol. 4, Supp.1973), and because of the requirements of due process in criminal trials.
