		<description><![CDATA[Constitutional Right to Confront Witnesses Watered Down: Statements Describing Shooter Not Testimonial, Admissible Without Confrontation and Cross Examination

By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

What a strange Supreme Court we have! You know it’s strange when Justice Sonia Sotomayer authors a lead opinion, joined by Roberts, Kennedy, Breyer and Alito, which curtails longstanding constitutional jurisprudence regarding the Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause over the dissent of Justice Antonin Scalia.  However, this was exactly the case in the Court’s recent opinion in Michigan v. Bryant, in which the Court held that statements made to police identifying and describing a “shooter” were not testimonial and thus were admissible in trial, even though the witness was dead and could not testify.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hearsay Statements of Child Abuse Victims and Delayed Outcry

By Houston Criminal Defense Attorney John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

“Hearsay” is a statement, other than one made by the declarant while testifying at a trial or hearing, offered into evidence to prove the truth of some matter being asserted. See: Tex. R. of Evid. 801. In English, hearsay is testimony about what somebody heard from somebody else. Hearsay testimony is generally inadmissible in a criminal trial. See: Tex. R. of Evid. 802. However, Article 38.072 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure provides an exception to the hearsay rule by allowing hearsay testimony in the prosecution of an offense committed against children twelve years of age and younger.]]></description>
