Cited to Support

Lyle C. May alleges that Asheville Police Department Detective Forrest Weaver possessed information relevant to the circumstances surrounding the preparation of his confession but was not made available for cross-examination during the pretrial suppression hearing. The cited transcript passages are relied upon to establish that Detective Judy Romick testified Weaver witnessed May writing portions of a statement while Romick was absent from the room and that Weaver later testified during the trial proceedings. May relies upon these transcript passages to support his claim that Weaver was a material witness concerning the circumstances under which the confession was prepared and that Weaver's absence from the suppression hearing prevented defense counsel from examining a witness who may have observed May's condition, level of intoxication, ability to write, and overall capacity during the creation of the statement.
