STATE v. TAGGART

No. 1 CA-CR 94-0926.

186 Ariz. 569 (1996)

925 P.2d 710

STATE of Arizona, Appellee, v. Darren Allen TAGGART, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Arizona, Division 1, Department D.

Review Granted October 21, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Grant Woods, Attorney General by Paul J. McMurdie, Chief Counsel, Criminal Appeals Section, and Joseph T. Maziarz, Assistant Attorney General, Phoenix, for Appellee.

Dean W. Trebesch, Maricopa County Public Defender by Edward F. McGee, Deputy Public Defender, Phoenix, for Appellant.


KLEINSCHMIDT, Judge.

Darren Taggart appeals from his conviction on two counts of aggravated assault. He claims that he should have been allowed to cross-examine the victims about their refusal to be interviewed by his attorney before trial. We find that although the restriction on cross-examination violated the Defendant's right to confrontation, the error, under the particular facts of this case, was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
