Very briefly my facts are: Landlord hears gunshots in an apartment, calls the police and then goes to apartment to investigate. Tenent, who is a drug dealer with substantial drugs in his apartment, tells LL that another person in the apartment - my client,who is present & sitting there - was trying to rob him. There were no guns or drugs in view when the LL entered. Tenent did not testify as he was charged separately with drug charges. <BR/>My argument is that the tenent knew that it was likely that anything he said to LL would be reported to police and thus is testimonial. <BR/>Anyone know of any cases that may be of any help to me, or have any helpful advice whatsoever?<BR/><BR/>Bonny GilbertAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757371790559232809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9532013.post-1165758246618292552006-12-10T08:44:00.000-05:002006-12-10T08:44:00.000-05:00I am a lay person.

Psycholocigal damage of a child victim should be avoided at whatever the cost. My child (the victim) was confronted during a courtroom hearing. The next two days my child would not, could not get out of bed, did not want to speak, and off and on lay curled into the fetal position. I was "outraged during the proceedings", and expressed myself. There seemed little concern. <BR/><BR/>Compounding the delimma and serving to finalize the crushing of my childs character was this: On the third day, following the proceeding, a news article directly leading to the identity of my child was on the front page of the regional newspaper. Being in a small town (pop 800) our phone began to ring off of the hook. Enough information was given to directly identify.. Buzz went throughout the schools. The scant/partial facts revealed in the article were misinterpreted, and my child now feels ostercized. I cannot describe the damage. Cannot think of a better way to destroy a child and have contact the Atty. Generals office.. Frankly, with what I have seen, I do not expect a reply.. <BR/><BR/>We are struggling for sanity in our entire household. The community is in a state of confusion and being affected also. I am considering suing the state. Frankly, feel there is a valid case.. This treatment of children MUST stop!! Period. <BR/><BR/>As of today (and my anger is fresh), I will certainly NEVER suggest that ANY child victim file a police report to report a crime for the sake of "it's the right thing to do". <BR/><BR/>On the contrary. I WILL suggest, and strongly, do NOT enter our court systems. Do NOT grace their doorways as there is no protection for the child and i will demonstrate the why and how of it.<BR/><BR/>I am going to try to find some help for my child at the Mayo Clinc or SOMEWHERE.. A good doctor's name would be appreciated. <BR/><BR/>I am speechless.. unable to describe the shameful conduct served upon a child and the apparent "well, that's just the way it is" attitude.. Is it little wonder that only 2 of 10 cases of abuse are reported.. In my opinion ,, NO child victim should EVER go to court.. it seems more damaging than the original crime against them.<BR/><BR/>If I do not hear from our Atty. General and there is no action to see that this sort of behavior is immediately stopped; I will then contact every rape and safe home in the state with the story of "do NOT" go to our courts and here is why.. <BR/><BR/>Hope you folks can sort this out.. but not in front of children..Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372707912217763920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9532013.post-1164244269595178452006-11-22T20:11:00.000-05:002006-11-22T20:11:00.000-05:00I start a murder trial on November 27, 2006 in Geo...I start a murder trial on November 27, 2006 in Georgia. Major issue is Crawford's affect on so called adoptive or tacit admissions. In my case co-defendant initially cooperated with police and made telephone call to my client that was recorded by police. Parts of her statements on the conversation were scripted by the police. Subsequently at the preliminary hearing she took the fifth and asked for representation. She was indicted along with my client and another. The court has refused to sever the trials. Both I and her attorney have raised objection respectively to the admission of the phone recordings because of lack of confrontation. I think clearly the scripted statements were testimonial. The prosecution argued that they were adoptive admissions under Georgia evidence code which is similar to federal rule. As adoptive admissions the state argued that they were not subject to confrontation. There is a dearth of post-Crawford case law clearly addressing this issue. The best analysis which does not really help me, but I thought was well reasoned was U.S. v. Lafferty, 387 F.Supp.2d 500 (W.D.Pa. 2005). That court ruled that if the jury found beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant adopted the statements then no right of confrontation existed since they would be considered the statement of the defendant. This seems a little off since prior to Crawford most courts had analyzed tacit admissions under Ohio v. Roberts which of course would suggest that there was a confrontation right unless the Roberts factors were met of reliability and the exception being a firmly rooted exception which according to the comments of the FRE it was a firmly rooted exception. Anyway, I think this is unresolved issue which I hope my client does not have to be the one to argue on appeal.<BR/><BR/>Dean ClarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9532013.post-1163800988718858702006-11-17T17:03:00.000-05:002006-11-17T17:03:00.000-05:00Regarding item #4 and #10 on the list, I argued be...Regarding item #4 and #10 on the list, I argued before Pennsylvnia's intermediate appellate court this week regarding the statements of a 4 year old child to a child protective services worker 7 days later and then to a forensic pyscologist 19 days later.
