Syllabus

EVIDENCE/WITNESS/TRIAL – ASSAULT – CROSS-EXAMINATION: Defendant's conviction for assault was not against the weight of the evidence where the victim's and officer's testimony established that defendant grabbed the victim by her throat, threw her on the ground, and kicked her in the face: the trial court did not lose its way and create a manifest miscarriage of justice in convicting defendant. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in restricting as duplicative defendant's cross-examination of the victim.
