California Court of Appeal

Defendant's appeal of juvenile court's ruling prohibiting the minor from calling four witnesses to testify on his behalf on the ground that defense counsel failed to disclose intent to call these witnesses to prosecution in a timely manner is reversed as the integrity of the factfinding process was harmed by the exclusion of the proposed defense witnesses.
