Saldane v. State

Jose Miguel Saldane (“Defendant”) appeals his conviction for armed x’obbery on two grounds. First, the Defendant contends that the trial court improperly prohibited the defense from questioning the victim about a perjury investigation arising out of false deposition testimony given by the victim. Second, the Defendant contends that it was error for the trial court to allow the State to introduce evidence regarding the Defendant’s involvement in a crime for which he was not on trial. We find merit in the second contention, and, consequently, remand the case for a new trial.
