“A defendant's right to impeach a complaining witness' credibility is a fundamental right, protected by the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment: 'In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right . . . to be confronted with the witnesses against him.' The primary purpose of the Confrontation Clause is to give the accused the 10 opportunity for cross-examination to attack the credibility of the State's witnesses.”
