Heading: Trial Court's In Limine Rulings

Text: The defendant first challenges certain of the trial court's in limine rulings. Specifically, he argues that by granting the State's motion in limine to exclude portions of Trooper William Graham's testimony, the trial court violated his constitutional right to present all proofs favorable. See N.H. CONST. pt. I, art. 15; U.S. CONST. amends. V, XIV. The defendant also argues that the trial court erred when it denied his motion in limine to exclude DiGregorio's testimony because it was inadmissible under RSA 516:29-a (2007). The defendant, however, has failed to demonstrate that he preserved these arguments by raising them in the trial court. As the appealing party, the defendant has the burden of providing this court with a record sufficient to demonstrate that he raised all of his appeal issues before the trial court. Bean v. Red Oak Prop. Mgmt., 151 N.H. 248, 250, 855 A.2d 564 (2004); see Sup.Ct. R. 13, 16(3)(b). The record provided on appeal fails to demonstrate that the defendant ever raised the same arguments that he raises here with respect to the trial court's in limine rulings. We, therefore, decline to address them.
