State v. Favors, DeAngelo, COCA Case No.
S-2005-1067 (August 18, 2006)

Because the defense was denied opportunity to fully confront victim’s testimony at preliminary hearing, trial court properly precluded use of that prior recorded testimony at a later proceeding. Defense was denied the opportunity to examine a defense witness on the record a preliminary hearing.
