No. CR 86-97.

717 S.W.2d 812 (1986)

290 Ark. 177

Johnny Steve McFADDEN, Appellant, v. STATE of Arkansas, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Arkansas.

October 20, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert S. Blatt, Fort Smith, for appellant.

Steve Clark, Atty. Gen. by Theodore Holder, Asst. Atty. Gen., Little Rock, for appellee.


NEWBERN, Justice.

On direct examination he testified he had not raped her or any of the other children who had been living with him and their now deceased mother. The only question presented is whether it was error to permit the prosecution to present rebuttal testimony from another, younger stepdaughter that she too had been raped by the appellant. We hold it was not error and thus affirm.
