Opinion Date: 10/23/2001

Summary

The trial court did not err when it limited cross examination of the victim regarding her relationship with her parents. Numerous questions were permitted regarding her troubled relationship with her parents, and appellant was able to establish that the victim initially blamed her parents for the suicide attempt, and only began to blame appellant after she spoke with her parents. Therefore, there was no violation of appellant’s right to confront the main witness against him.
