2 sentences

2018Under our holding that the government may proceed by proffer or hearsay, cross-examination for the limited purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is an insufficient reason to compel a witness' presence. [ Id. at 1338 (citation omitted).] The Edwards court concluded that requiring a preliminary proffer about how "a witness' testimony will tend to negate substantial probability 2 that the accused committed the charged offense, is a **506 reasonable limitation on the accused's right to call witnesses" at a pretrial detention hearing.

2017The Edwards court noted "the same liberty interest of the individual — to be free from pretrial detention — is involved in a pretrial detention hearing and a Gerstein hearing on probable cause." Edwards, supra, 430 A.2d at 1337 .
