Does a subpoena issued by Deputy Gelhaus violate a defendant's right to compel the attendance of witnesses?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Macfarlane, A141326 (Cal. App. 2016):
Defendant also did not argue below that quashing the Deputy Gelhaus subpoena would violate his constitutional right to compel the attendance of witnesses. However, "[t]he right of an accused to compel witnesses to come into court and give evidence in the accused's defense is a fundamental one." (People v. Jacinto (2010) 49 Cal.4th 263, 268).
