Because, on this record, we find that the trial court abused its discretion in limiting defense cross examination of a pivotal state’s witness regarding his generalized bias or lack thereof toward black citizens, we reverse appellant’s conviction and remand for a new trial on the authority of Smith v.

In view of such disposition, we do not reach appellant’s other point on appeal.
