How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • reversing for new trial where defendant's late disclosure of witnesses resulted in their exclusion because trial court made \no effort... to determine whether reasonable means could have been employed to overcome the prejudice without resorting to the total exclusion of the witnesses\
  • witness' failure to give expected testimony and instead giving less beneficial testimony does not render witness adverse and subject to impeachment by a prior inconsistent statement
  • witness exclusion as a sanction should be “reserved for extreme or aggravated circumstances, particularly when the excluded testimony relates to critical issues or facts and the testimony is not cumulative.”
