State v. Collymore

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that even assuming the state improperly withdrew or failed to extend immunity to witnesses called during the defense case, the resulting conduct did not violate the defendant’s constitutional rights. The defendant failed to show that the excluded testimony would have been noncumulative, and the state and trial court did not substantially intimidate the witnesses. The court also held that any error involving first-time in-court identifications was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because identity was not disputed for most charges and the remaining firearm-possession conviction was supported by substantial independent evidence.
