Syllabus

CONTEMPT — RIGHT TO COMPULSORY PROCESS — RIGHT TO CONFRONT WITNESSES: Where defendant did not appeal the entry finding him in contempt and imposing a sentence, this court lacked jurisdiction to consider the assignment of error challenging the contempt finding. The trial court did not violate defendant's right to compulsory process when it denied his request to recall the victim where defendant failed to subpoena the victim to testify in court. The trial court did not violate defendant's right to confront the witnesses against him when it denied his request to recall the victim where defendant thoroughly cross-examined the victim during the State's case-in-chief.
