Text: ¶ 16 Defendant claims that limits placed upon cross-examination at trial violated his fundamental right to confront adverse witnesses under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. [7] See Pointer v. Texas, 380 U.S. 400, 403, 85 S.Ct. 1065, 1068, 13 L.Ed.2d 923 (1965); State ex rel. Collins v. Superior Ct., 132 Ariz. 180, 187, 644 P.2d 1266, 1273 (1982). We agree. Moreover, because we cannot say beyond a reasonable doubt that this error had no effect on seven of the thirty-seven verdicts in this case, including two of the first-degree murder convictions, we must reverse them.
