State in the Interest of J.A.

6-23-08 (A-2-07)

The hearsay statements were a narrative of past events and made while neither the declarant nor victim was in imminent danger.
The statements were testimonial and, because the declarant was not produced as a witness or subject to cross-examination, the
admission of the statements violated J.A.’s Sixth Amendment right to confront the witnesses against him.
