How courts have described this case

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

• noting that prosecutor told witness several weeks before trial that his testimony was necessary and that subpoena was served on witness more than three weeks before trial
• stating the trial court held the forfeiture hearing after the witness did not appear at the courthouse on the date for which he was subpoenaed
• stating a writ of attachment would have been clearly futile because the State did not know the witness planned to leave the county and did not know where to locate the witness
• rejecting assertion that writ of attachment is necessary, stating “State is not required to engage in clearly futile activities before a trial court can, in its discretion, determine that the State made good-faith efforts to produce a witness at trial”
