Supreme Court of North Carolina July 7, 1983, No. 569A82 (State v. Wilhite)

EXUM, Justice.

The questions presented are whether the trial court committed reversible error in not permitting defendants Rankin in the kidnapping cases (1) to cross-examine the prosecuting witness about specific acts of misconduct and (2) to prove these acts by the testimony of other witnesses. A majority of the Court of Appeals concluded that error was committed. We disagree.
