As an initial matter, “there is no evidence before the Court as to what [Casey] would have testified.” Scala, 388 F. Supp. 2d at 400. Even assuming that Casey would have testified as the defendant now contends, such testimony (which would be purely speculative and unsubstantiated) would also have no bearing on whether the abuse, in fact, occurred.
