• holding that, in a case of evidentiary error, the test is whether \there is a reasonable probability that the witness'[s] testimony would have affected the outcome of the trial\
• noting that “[o]n the facts presented, it was too speculative to say that because [the witness] might tell conflicting stories, his testimony was immaterial to Bell’s defense”
• “Other jurisdictions have determined that given the availability of in-state witnesses who can supply the needed testimony, it is not error for a trial court to deny a party’s request to compel the presence of an out-of-state witness.”
