Heading: Whether the trial court erred in allowing speculative testimony.

Text: ¶ 16. Moore asserts that, during the testimony of Skinner, Moore's brother, that speculative testimony was elicited regarding the body weight of McChriston. Moore cites two cases, Edmonds v. State, 955 So.2d 787 (Miss.2007), [1] and Balouch v. State, 938 So.2d 253 (Miss.2006). However, Edmonds involved speculative testimony of an expert witness. Edmonds, 955 So.2d at 791. In Balouch, the Court found that the assignment of error involving speculative testimony was without merit and that there was no need for discussion. Balouch, 938 So.2d at 260. Further, in the instant case, the testimony complained of was merely an attempt to find out whether Skinner knew if Moore was larger or smaller in physical size than McChriston. We find that this issue is without merit.
