May's reliance upon Smith v. Arizona, 602 U.S. ___, 144 S.Ct. 1785 (2024), for the principle that
the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause protects a criminal defendant's right to confront and
cross-examine witnesses against him. Smith is cited to establish that the prosecution may not
introduce testimonial statements of an absent witness through another witness unless the
defendant has an opportunity for cross-examination consistent with the requirements of the
Confrontation Clause. May relies upon this authority to support his claim that material statements
attributed to Darrell Godfrey were presented to the jury without affording the Defendant an
opportunity to confront and cross-examine Godfrey directly.
