• finding testimonial the statement a witness gave to police several days after shooting claiming the witness observed the appellant shoot the victim several times while the victim lay on the ground saying “Don’t kill me.”
• statement to investigating police officers by an eyewitness inadmissible where witness is absent from trial and defendant had no prior opportunity to cross-examine the witness
• statement by alleged eyewitness to investigating police officers not admissible where witness is absent from trial and defendant had no prior opportunity to cross-examine the witness
• reversal required where hearsay evidence, although cumulative of other evidence, went to “core issue of the case” and remaining State witnesses were impeached
• “[i]n contrast with the [admissible] testimony . . . the declarant’s [inadmissible] hearsay statement [was] placed before the jury unimpeached because the declarant did not testify.”
