Order
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 6, 2013 order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this Court. MARKMAN, J. ( dissenting ).
I would grant leave to appeal to consider whether the trial court's decision to exclude evidence of the complainant's alleged threat to a prosecution witness, as well as evidence of the complainant's alleged statement of an intention to get involved in a fight on the evening of the criminal incident for which defendant was convicted, violated defendant's statutory or constitutional right to present a defense. See Chambers v. Mississippi, 410 U.S. 284, 93 S.Ct. 1038, 35 L.Ed.2d 297 (1973); People v. Barrera, 451 Mich. 261, 547 N.W.2d 280 (1996); MCL 763.1.
