Description
Defendant James David Purdie was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to ten years imprisonment for his role in a head-on collision in which the driver of the other car was killed. Purdie appeals, contending that the trial judge erred by: 1) allowing an accident reconstruction expert to testify; 2) permitting the prosecutor to ask a witness a leading question on direct examination; 3) refusing to allow Purdies former attorney to testify regarding a statement made to him by an unavailable witness; 4) allowing Purdie to be cross-examined about a statement made to a police officer one month after the collision; and 5) denying Purdies motions to dismiss. We hold that Purdies trial was without error.
