The Appellant acknowledged that he chose not to subpoena Mrs. Williams and thereby accepted the risk that the State would not call her as a witness. See State v. Winfred Lee Faulcon, No. W2001-01153-CCA-R3-CD, 2002 WL 1482661, at *2 (Tenn. Crim. App. at Jackson, Feb. 26, 2002). Therefore, we conclude that the Appellant's attempt to blame the State for Mrs. Williams' absence is disingenuous.
