Military Justice As Justice: Fitting Confrontation Clause Jurisprudence Into Military Commissions, Christina Frohock
Articles
The Guantánamo prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged mastermind behind the deadly USS Cole bombing, highlights an unresolved issue in military commissions: whether the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution applies to bar hearsay statements of unavailable witnesses.
