When legal nerdery meets obsessive fandom

At the risk of being redundant to all four of our readers, I am an attorney.

A case I am working on right now has me thinking- if a criminal defendant has a constitutional right to subpoena witnesses on his behalf, and if the Defendant himself is the judge of which witnesses are relevant to his case...

Why hasn't anyone in New England subpoenaed Derek Jeter or A-Rod to testify on their behalf at a trial in October?

The Yankee response: The Sox want A-Rod there. Jeter, being a deity, is not subject to any earthly jurisdiction.

How do you know that nobody has?
