1921920.
December 3, 1993.
Petition for writ of Certiorari to the Court of Criminal Appeals (CR 92-379). Appeal from the Henry Circuit Court, Nos. CC-89-018 and CC-89-019, Michael Crespi, Judge.
W. Terry Bullard, Dothan, for petitioner.
James H. Evans, Atty. Gen., for respondent.
Though the state failed to exercise due diligence in securing a witness's attendance at trial, we must agree with the Court of Criminal Appeals that the error was "harmless beyond a reasonable doubt." Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 24, 87 S.Ct. 824, 828, 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967).
WRIT DENIED.
HORNSBY, C.J., and ALMON, KENNEDY and COOK, JJ., concur.
