Description
The question in this case is whether the district court abused its discretion in restricting cross-examination of a prosecution witness by a defendant in a criminal case. Garrett was convicted on one count of distributing heroin and one of distributing cocaine. The chief witness against him was Roger Lehman, a Detroit Police Officer with nearly five years experience. Lehman testified that he made arrangements with Garrett to purchase heroin on October 28, 1974 and cocaine on November 6, 1974 and that the drugs were delivered on each occasion by persons associated with Garrett. Shortly before the trial began Garrett's attorney learned that Officer Lehman had been suspended from duty as a police officer for refusal to take a urine test to determine whether he had used hard drugs.
