State v. Lanier

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant's burglary conviction, holding that the trial court reasonably limited cross-examination about the victim's probation without preventing the defense from presenting the victim's alleged bias and motive to fabricate. The court also held that, even assuming an evidentiary abuse of discretion, the defendant failed to show harm because substantial corroborating evidence supported the conviction and the excluded testimony would not likely have affected the verdict.
