Court of Appeals for the First Circuit June 7, 1979, 78-1420 (Carl Pettijohn v. Frank Hall)

PETTINE, District Judge.

This habeas corpus appeal concerns the scope of the sixth amendment right to call a witness in one’s defense after having moved to suppress a portion of that witness’ testimony.

A brief recitation of the facts is necessary. Carl Pettijohn was convicted of armed robbery in Massachusetts Superior Court solely on the basis of the victim’s eyewitness testimony.
