Highlight

A criminal defendant's Sixth Amendment right to compulsory process is not absolute, and does not guarantee the right to secure the attendance and testimony of any and all witnesses.
A defendant alleging a violation of his right to compulsory process has the burden of showing that the testimony would have been both favorable and material to his defense.
The civil dispute doctrine, which allows a court to dismiss criminal proceedings if the matter should have been adjudicated civilly, is limited to cases where there is a legitimate property or contract dispute that is better suited for resolution in a civil matter.
