Criminal Procedure — confrontation clause

James Bohanan appeals a judgment of conviction for first-degree intentional homicide. Bohanan asserts that the circuit court erred by: (1) precluding defense counsel from questioning a witness about the victim’s involvement in drug dealing; and (2) admitting hearsay testimony by Bohanan’s girlfriend’s employer indicating that the girlfriend had said she was not coming to work because Bohanan had been involved in a homicide. Bohanan contends that the evidentiary errors denied him his constitutional rights to confrontation and to a fair trial. We disagree, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
