In People v. Pullins, 145 Mich App 414; 378 NW2d 502 (1985), the defendant's alibi witness was out of town on the date that the trial court was ready to hear his testimony. Id. at 417. The trial court denied the defendant's motion for a one-day continuance. Id. In finding that the denial was an abuse of discretion, this Court pointed to the fact that the defendant was not responsible for the witness' absence and that the request for a continuance was not a mere delay tactic. Id. The Court held that the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to grant a one-day continuance. Id. at 418.
