Even if some new matter were the subject of redirect, any error here would not be prejudicial given the heavy weight of the evidence against the defendant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“over defendant's objection during redirect examination. Defendant notes correctly the general rule that redirect examination cannot be used to repeat direct testimony or to introduce an entirely new matter. However,”
