1. ““[t]he Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment affords an accused the right to cross-examination. The United States Supreme Court has ‘recognized that the exposure of a witness’ motivation in testifying is a proper and important function of the constitutionally protected right of cross- examination.’ Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 316-17 , 39 L. Ed. 2d 347 , 94 S. Ct. 1105 (1974).” 252 Kan. at 17 .”

2. ““Humphrey argues the trial court lacked jurisdiction over him because the State violated the speedy trial act, K.S.A. 22-3402. This argument is based upon Humphrey’s allegation that he was held in custody, awaiting trial, more than 90 days when the time chargeable to the State in the original case, 88-CR-66, is added to the time chargeable to the State in the current case, 89-CR-166. “We cannot consider this argument because the Finney County District Court file for case number 88-CR-66 has not been made a part of the record on appeal. Thus, Humphrey has failed to meet his burden of providing a sufficient record to show the trial court committed prejudicial error. See State v. Blackmore, 249 Kan. 668, 670 , 822 P.2d 49 (1991). We hold this issue is without merit.” Humphrey 1, 252 Kan. at 27-28.”
