Heading: the cumulation of error in this trial requires reversal.

Text: ś 93. Conley asserts that his case was replete with ... `near errors.' The gaps in transcription, the lack of the real life jacket, the denial of expert witnesses, the tri-parte investigation and its lack of accountability to name a few. He argues that, taken individually, these errors may be considered harmless; taken collectively in combination with the major areas of dispute, they are fatal. ś 94. The State takes note of Conley's failure to support his contentions with citations to the record. The State asserts that nowhere in the record is evidence that Conley was denied expert witnesses, and he never listed such denial as an assignment of error. The State also points out that nowhere in the record is it asserted that the transcript is incomplete. ś 95. We have recognized that a case may be reversed because of the accumulation of errors, which, standing alone, would be insufficient for reversal. Stringer v. State, 500 So.2d 928, 946 (Miss.1986). In this case, however, we find that Conley has failed to establish cumulative error upon which to base a reversal. Therefore, this issue is without merit.
