Northern Illinois University Law Review

This comment discusses an accused's rights under the Illinois Confrontation Clause and the need to protect child sexual abuse victims from the emotional trauma associated with testifying in the presence of their abuser at trial.

Constitutional Admissibility Of Hearsay Under The Confrontation Clause: Reliability Requirement For Hearsay Admitted Under A Non-"Firmly Rooted" Exception - Idaho V. Wright, A. Perry Wadsworth Jr.

Campbell Law Review

This note discusses the facts of Idaho v. Wright, examines the history of the admissibility of hearsay under the Confrontation Clause, and analyzes the Wright decision. This note concludes that by excluding the use of corroborative evidence in determining the trustworthiness of non-firmly rooted hearsay, the Court enhances Confrontation Clause protection for criminal defendants, but perhaps at the expense of some crime victims, such as sexually abused children.

What Would Happen If Videotaped Depositions Of Sexually Abused Children Were Routinely Admitted In Civil Trials? A Journey Through The Legal Process And Beyond , John B. Mitchell

Seattle University Law Review

As all of us are aware, there has been concern throughout our legal system about the trauma that child victims of sexual abuse suffer when testifying at criminal trials. It is likely that these same concerns will follow into the civil arena as civil cases for sexual abuse of child victims become more common. In response, advocates of child victims will propose that videotapes of child depositions be admitted in trial in place of live testimony. Such evidence may have profound effects on juries and may also alter the role of advocates in our civil system. This Article is about …

Criminal Procedure - Presumed Guilty: The Use Of Videotaped And Closed-Circuit Televised Testimony In Child Sex Abuse Prosecutions And The Defendant's Right To Confrontation - Coy V. Iowa, Charles E. Wilson Jr.

Campbell Law Review

This Note proposes that those statutes which permit admission of videotaped testimony and most uses of closed-circuit televised testimony violate a criminal defendant's sixth amendment right to "confront his accusers." In Coy v. Iowa, the United States Supreme Court recently held that one state's practice of shielding the defendant from the view of the child witness during the child's testimony violated the defendant's right to confrontation. Following the Court's analysis, this Note discusses the various problems arising from the use of videotaped or closed-circuit televised testimony. Concluding that the admission of such testimony is not a constitutionally permissible substitute …
