Description
In Crawford v. Washington (2004) 541 U.S. 36 (Crawford), the United States Supreme Court announced a new standard for determining when the confrontation clause of the Sixth Amendment prohibits the use of hearsay evidence-i.e., an out-of-court statement offered for its truth-against a criminal defendant. Crawford held that this clause protects an accused against hearsay uttered by one who spoke as a " `witness[]' " " `bear[ing] testimony' " (id. at p. 51) if the declarant neither takes the stand at trial nor was otherwise available for cross-examination by the accused.
