Davis v. Washington and Hammon v. Indiana
U.S. Supreme Court
Dec 2005

Smart Justice

Women's Rights

Davis v. Washington and Hammon v. Indiana

These cases raise the question of how to determine whether evidence is "testimonial" for purposes of the Confrontation Clause, and thus inadmissible at trial unless the defendant has an opportunity to cross-examine the witness whose "testimony" is being offered by the prosecution. The 桃子视频brief urges the Court to adopt an objective standard under which a statement would be treated as "testimonial" if a reasonable person under the circumstances would understand that the statement could be used for criminal investigation or prosecution. DECIDED

Between October and late June or early July the Supreme Court is 鈥渋n session,鈥 meaning it hears oral arguments, issues written decisions, and decides whether to take additional cases.
