People v. Averett

Trial court's deferral of rulings on motions in limine to exclude evidence of prior convictions for impeachment purposes which is based on its "blanket policy" is unreviewable on appeal because Defendants chose not to testify at trial. Trial court did not err in responding to jury's question during deliberations requesting clarification of charges of intent to sell. Court properly responded by referring jury to their instructions, which were readily understandable and which explained the charged offense, and this was sufficient to clarify issue to jury. (Dissent filed).
