PER CURIAM
Affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Miller, 367 S.C. 329, 336, 626 S.E.2d 328, 332 (2006) (holding error is harmless if, after reviewing the entire record, the reviewing court finds the error "could not reasonably have affected the result of the trial"); State v. Santiago, 370 S.C. 153, 164-65, 634 S.E.2d 23, 29 (Ct. App. 2006) (holding even if the trial court erred in excluding evidence, the error is harmless if there is overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt); State v. Fossick, 333 S.C. 66, 70, 508 S.E.2d 32, 34 (1998) (holding to determine whether an issue of witness credibility constitutes harmless error, a court considers "the importance of the witness's testimony to the prosecution's case, whether the witness's testimony was cumulative, whether other evidence corroborates or contradicts the witness's testimony, the extent of cross-examination otherwise permitted, and the overall strength of the State's case").
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
HUFF, THOMAS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.
