It is permissible for the State to cross-examine witnesses on matters concerning bias, hostility, and prejudice. In concluding that the State may properly cross-examine an alibi witness concerning his or her failure to contact police before the trial, the court in King v. State, 748 P.2d 531, 535 (Okla.Crim.App. 1988), reasoned that cross-examination should be allowed in matters which tend to contradict, explain or discredit a witness's testimony or verify accuracy, memory, veracity or credibility. We agree and conclude that there was no error in connection with the State's cross-examination of Heglemeier's alibi witnesses.
We are convinced after having reviewed the record that none of the allegedly improper remarks were sufficiently prejudicial to warrant reversal or modification. See King v. State, 748 P.2d 531, 535 (Okla. Cr. 1988). Appellant's fifth proposition is therefore denied.
