Evidence — credibility

Jeffrey A. Williams appeals from an amended judgment, entered upon a jury’s verdict, convicting him of second-degree sexual assault of an intoxicated person. He contends that the circuit court erroneously permitted his niece to testify that her family members expressed animosity towards her because she was a witness for the State. He seeks a new trial. Because we conclude that the testimony was probative of the witness’s credibility, and because the testimony did not prejudice Williams, we reject his contentions and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
