United States Second Circuit

Where the defendant did not produce any evidence that police officer, called as a defense witness, would have testified favorably for the defense on relevant matters, and there was no allegation that the prosecution caused or contributed to officer's absence at trial, defendant's constitutional claims of a denial of compulsory process and due process were rejected.
