Does Little have a right to cross-examine an opposing witness?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Little, 860 F.2d 1090 (9th Cir. 1988):
Little also contends his sixth amendment right to cross-examination was violated by admission of Verdugo's statement because it was received into evidence after Verdugo had testified and been excused. "The sixth amendment guarantees criminal defendants the right to cross-examine adverse witnesses to uncover possible bias and to expose the witness's motivation in testifying." Reiger v. Christensen, 789 F.2d 1425, 1433 (9th Cir.1986).
