““ ‘As a general rule the latitude to be allowed in cross-examination of witnesses rests largely in the discretion of the trial court. Such cross-examination should be kept within fair and reasonable limits, and it is only in a case of clear abuse of such discretion, resulting in manifest prejudice to the defendant, that a reviewing court will interfere.’ (People v. Gallo, 54 Ill. 2d 343, 356 ; People v. Halteman, 10 Ill. 2d 74, 86 .)””
