Syllabus

Testimony by Skype right to confrontation justification of remote testimony harmless error. The record shows the trial court took precautions to ensure that the remote testimony did not violate appellant's right to confrontation. Therefore, even if we were to find that the state did not sufficiently justify a witness testifying remotely, there is no reasonable possibility that the remote testimony contributed to appellant's conviction. The trial court's admission of the remote testimony was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
