1Opinion of the Court

VAUGHN, Chief Judge.

At trial, Ms. Woods’ sister testified that she had never had any difficulty with Robin lying to her. Defendant now contends that this testimony was improperly admitted in that it was the witness’ opinion of her sister’s character. We find no merit in defendant’s contention.
