RUSSELL v. STATE, 89 Nev. 37 (1973)

505 P.2d 599

JAMES RUSSELL, AKA JACKIE WILSON, APPELLANT, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, RESPONDENT.

No. 6902Supreme Court of Nevada.
February 2, 1973

Appeal from a conviction and sentence for the crime of burglary, Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; John F. Mendoza, Judge.

Morgan D. Harris, Public Defender, Clark County, for Appellant.

Robert List, Attorney General, of Carson City; Roy A. Woofter, District Attorney, Clark County, for Respondent.

OPINION
Per Curiam:

Appellant was tried before a jury and found guilty of burglary. NRS 205.160. On appeal, he contends the trial court erred in allowing certain testimony during redirect examination of a prosecution witness, and also that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction.

In the instant case, the witness’s identification of appellant was challenged on cross-examination, and he was allowed to substantiate his identification during redirect examination by noting certain distinguishing characteristics of the appellant. Such redirect examination was within permissible limits. NRS 50.115; cf. State v. Tranmer, 39 Nev. 142, 154 P. 80 (1915).

Review of the record reflects substantial evidence to support appellant’s conviction.

Affirmed.
