Heading: Failure to Object to Inflammatory Cross-Examination

Text: On direct appeal, Conner asserted that the circuit court erred in allowing cross-examination during the penalty phase of the trial about whether he had ever been convicted for displaying a weapon. Without more, he now asserts that [t]his Court should now reach the Hosford [ v. State, 525 So.2d 789 (Miss. 1988)] issue or, at the very least, remand this case to the circuit court for an evidentiary hearing. This is the sum, substance and total content of his assertion. Absent any meaningful argument, this Court is not obligated to entertain an assignment of error. Baine v. State, 604 So.2d 249, 255 (Miss. 1992).
