Abstract

This article addresses the definition and scope of “testimonial” hearsay under the Crawford doctrine. It discusses the four factors that are most likely to qualify an out-of-court statement as testimonial hearsay under the Sixth Amendment. In addition to discussing the facts and holding of Crawford, it discusses the subsequent cases interpreting that opinion.
