7-26-11 State v. Timyan Cabbell/State v. John Calhoun (A-89/90-09; 065129)
Both defendants were denied their federal and state constitutional rights to confront Karine Martin, a key State’s witness, before the jury. For that reason, Martin’s out-of-court statement to the police incriminating defendants should not have been read to the jury and the admission of that statement was not harmless error.
