Edwards v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Phipps, Judge.

Ronald Lee Edwards appeals his conviction of one count of child molestation, 1 alleging that the trial court erred by (1) allowing the jury to review a transcript of an interview with the victim without giving an adequate cautionary instruction; (2) improperly restricting cross-examination of a State’s witness; (3) allowing an anatomically correct drawing to go out with the jury; (4) giving an overly broad jury charge on child molestation; and (5) allowing a State’s witness to bolster the testimony of the child victim. Because each of these claims lacks merit, we affirm.
