Supreme Court of South Carolina
The State, Respondent v. Wayne Garvin Bailey, Appellant
March 13, 1989298 S.C. 1
Summary
The court affirmed Bailey’s convictions, holding that the trial court erred by permitting the State to impeach its own witness but that the error was harmless because competent evidence conclusively established guilt. It also upheld the denial of a continuance because additional alibi testimony would have been cumulative. Bailey’s challenges to the value of the stolen shotgun and the proof of breaking were waived because he did not raise those grounds below.
