   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1158
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Smith,
   Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. District court's decision to limit
   defendant's cross-examination of a witness's convictions in the 1970s did
   not violate defendant's Sixth Amendment right's as the cross-
   examination's connection with defendant's claim that the witness was
   biased was highly attenuated and defendant was permitted to introduce
   other evidence, including more recent convictions, to show bias;
   questions regarding defendant's brother's arrest was cumulative to other
   properly admitted evidence and was relevant to explaining the conspiracy
   charged in the indictment.
