Evidence – relevance — hearsay

William E. Akins appeals a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of first-degree reckless homicide by use of a dangerous weapon. He contends that the circuit court erred by: (1) limiting his cross-examination of a witness; and (2) barring admission of a text message as evidence on hearsay grounds. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
