David Harrell v. State of Florida

No. 90,114

Two Argentinean tourists visiting Miami were attacked. They would not return for the trial of the person accused of the crime, so the prosecuting attorney persuaded the trial judge to let them testify via live satellite link. The accused argues that this violated the right to confront witnesses guaranteed by the U.S. & Florida Constitutions.
