Description
Prior to trial, the court refused the states request to use a transcript of the preliminary hearing testimony of Mrs. Lehman. The court found that the state had not made a good faith effort to obtain her attendance at trial and, because defense counsel had had no opportunity to cross-examine Mrs. Lehman concerning appellants sanity at the time of the incident in question, appellant was deprived of his right of confrontation at trial. As further support for its ruling, the court relied on a letter written by Mrs. Lehman in which she indicated that she had lied at the preliminary hearing and had been the instigator of much of the parties difficulties.
