The defense called Dr. Engum to testify in the penalty phase with respect to appellant’s mental deficiencies. On cross-examination, the prosecutor asked Dr. Engum about the lack of structure in appellant’s life, which Dr. Engum had earlier testified affected appellant’s personality problems. The prosecutor asked Dr. Engum whether he was provided with Mr. Brooks’ prison records. Dr. En-gum responded that he was not. The prosecutor then inquired whether Dr. Engum was aware of any of appellant’s antisocial behavior in prison. Appellant’s counsel objected. The court overruled the objection. Dr. En-gum responded that he was not aware of any behavioral problems appellant had in prison, other than being victimized.
