P. v. Younger
Defendant and appellant Darrell Younger contends that his conviction for the second degree murder of Heather Moore should be reversed because his rights under the confrontation clause of the Sixth Amendment were violated by the admission at trial of Heathers hearsay statements. As explained more fully below, we conclude that certain statements attributed to Heather constituted testimonial hearsay and their admission at trial violated appellants Sixth Amendment right to confrontation. Furthermore, because we cannot say that the erroneous admission of these statements was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, as required under Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18, Court reverse appellants conviction and remand for further proceedings.
