Heading: The leading questions by the prosecutor.

Text: ¶ 8. Cavett contends that he received an unfair trial because, on numerous occasions, defense counsel successfully objected to leading questions posed by the prosecutor. Cavett argues that, although leading questions occur in probably every case ever tried, there comes a saturation point wherein the technique causes an unfair result. ¶ 9. Cavett does not cite any authority in support of this argument, and, therefore, consideration of this issue is procedurally barred. The appellant bears the burden on appeal, and we will entertain no claims for which no supporting authority has been cited. Beckwith v. State, 707 So.2d 547, 597 (Miss. 1997) (citing Allman v. State, 571 So.2d 244, 254 (Miss.1990); Smith v. State, 430 So.2d 406, 407 (Miss.1983)). Furthermore, a review of the record reveals that Cavett's argument is specious.
