  • rejecting the defendant’s Confrontation Clause argument because a co- defendant’s statements to his cellmate “to get advice about his false alibi, not to establish evidence for use in a future prosecution” was not testimonial
  • “In determining whether [an] error was harmless, we review the record de novo and weigh the evidence as we would expect reasonable jurors to have done so.” (Citation and punctuation omitted.)
