Heading: Weber's right to confront witnesses.

Text: Weber appears to contend that the trial judge violated his right to confront witnesses, guaranteed by both the federal and the Delaware Constitutions, by refusing to admit Weber's driver's license into evidence. Weber argues that, without that license, he could not effectively crossexamine Hawk. Weber's driver's license contained a restriction requiring Weber to wear glasses while driving, and the picture on that license showed Weber wearing glasses. The assailant shown in the surveillance tape was not wearing glasses. Hawk testified that, when he saw Weber in the Sleepy's parking lot and when he arrested him, Weber was not wearing glasses. Hawk also testified that he had never seen Weber wearing glasses and did not know of Weber's driving restriction. Alimenti also testified that Weber was not wearing glasses on the evening of the incident. We find no merit to Weber's argument. On two separate occasions, defense counsel crossexamined Hawk regarding Weber's driving restriction. Therefore, the trial judge did not deny Weber his right to confront witnesses by excluding Weber's driver's license.
