State v. Berkley5/3/2005
nce of defendant's guilt, we conclude that even if the trial court erred in excluding the testimony of defendant's sister, said error was harmless. See State v. Collins, 345 N.C. 170, 173-174, 478 S.E.2d 191, 194 (1996) (stating that even assuming that the trial court had erred in excluding defendant's character evidence as not being "pertinent," i.e. relevant, "exclusion of the evidence could not have affected the outcome of this case in light of the overwhelming evidence of defendant's guilt"; and therefore "any possible error would have been harmless"). Accordingly, the trial court did not err in excluding the testimony of defendant's sister.
Having so concluded, we hold that defendant received a fair trial, free from prejudicial error.
No error.
Judges BRYANT and GEER concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
