State v. Moore - SC17992 ("The state appeals, following our grant of certification, from the judgment of the Appellate Court reversing the conviction of the defendant....The state claims that the Appellate Court improperly concluded that the defendant’s sixth amendment right of confrontation under the United States constitution was violated when the trial court denied his motion to strike certain testimony that the state elicited during its redirect examination of James Brooks, a participant in the robbery and a prosecution witness who invoked his fifth amendment privilege against self incrimination before the assistant state’s attorney (prosecutor) completed his redirect examination, thus depriving the defense of the opportunity to question Brooks on recross-examination.")
