This affects criminal defense in two main ways.<br /> <br /> ===In-court Appearance of witness===<br /> <br /> The Supreme Court held in Maryland v. Craig that a witness may give testimony via CCTV.<br /> <br /> ===Out-of-court Testimonial statements===<br /> <br /> A Crawford or confrontation clause issue is not the same as hearsay, but closely related. The main rule from Crawford v. Washington is that out-of-court testimonial statements must be excluded unless the witness is unavailable and there has been a prior opportunity to cross-examine the witness.<br /> <br /> ==Compulsory Process==<br /> <br /> ==Assistance of Counsel==<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Wikipedia]</div>
