“'because of failure to answer questions on cross-examination.' " Id. at 957 . ¶ 110 On appeal, the defendant argued that the trial court erred in denying the motion without considering the merits. The reviewing court noted that the sole issue raised in the motion to suppress was whether the warrantless search and seizure was unreasonable. "Defendant's testimony thereon at the hearing was limited to the events surrounding the search and seizure. 50 No. 1-13-0698 The prosecution inquiry on cross-examination of whether defendant knew what the substances were – as to the question of to whom they belonged – was neither within the scope of direct examination nor even germane to the issues raised by the motion to suppress.”
