How courts have described this case

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

  • defendant was not denied the right of confrontation where the witness was available for cross-examination “but defense counsel expressly declined the opportunity to cross-examine him”
  • co-defendant’s statements were sufficiently corroborated by the testimony of the case agent as to the location of contraband
  • appellant could not claim denial of right to confront witness when he declined opportunity to cross-examine
  • “In some instances, the failure to cross-examine may not waive a confrontation clause claim because it is clear from the record that an attempt at cross-examination would have been futile.”
  • defendant’s prior arrest record admissible where defense opened door on the same specific subject
  • if a reluctant witness testifies that he does not remember whether he made a prior statement, the state is then entitled to introduce the prior statement as inconsistent with the in-court testimony of the witness
