What is the test for cross-examination under the Sixth Amendment?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Polisi, 416 F.2d 573 (2nd Cir. 1969):
The right does not come into play where there is an absence of testimony by a potential witness. In Parker the errant bailiff was in effect a witness before the trial jury, outside the courtroom. The Sixth Amendment safeguards the right of cross-examination, but it does not require the calling of any particular witness. Curtis v. Rives, 75 U.S.App. D.C. 66, 123 F.2d 936 (1941); Eberhart v. United States, 262 F.2d 421 (9 Cir. 1958).
