Missouri Court of Appeals March 19, 1985, No. 48799 (State v. McLaurin)

CLEMENS, Senior Judge.

A jury found defendant W.T. McLaurin guilty of first degree burglary. The trial court sentenced him as a persistent offender to 30 years in prison. We affirm.

The only issue is whether the court abused its discretion in limiting defendant’s cross-examination of police officer Ray. Defense counsel had sought to show an officer had kicked defendant after he had been arrested.
