Opinion of the Court
WARNER, J.

WARNER, J.

At appellant’s trial for attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, the trial court refused to permit defense counsel to recross a witness. Whether to allow recross-examination is subject to the trial court’s broad discretion over the admission of evidence. See Sullivan v. State, 751 So. 2d 128, 130 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000). We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in disallowing re-cross in this case, where the prosecutor did not bring out any new matter on re-direct, but only a detail which had been addressed in cross-examination. See U.S. v. Ross, 33 F. 3d 1507, 1517-18 (11th Cir.1994); U.S. v. Morris, 485 F. 2d 1385, 1387 (5th Cir.1973).

Affirmed.

GROSS and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.

It is not an abuse of discretion for a trial court to deny recross when the prosecutor does not raise any new matters during redirect. See Hurst v. State, 825 So. 2d 517, 517 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). "The admission or rejection of [evidence for the purpose of impeachment] rests in the sound discretion of the trial court who must judge the propriety thereof from what transpires upon the trial, and the conduct of the witn…
