How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

refusing to retroactively apply constitutional amendment, that if applied would nullify the need for retrial, because defendant would be deprived of substantive right guaranteed to him at time of trial
defendant retained his right to face-to-face confrontation at new trial on remand despite intervening amendment to state constitution that revoked the right
\We agree and hold that fundamental fairness requires that the defendant be allowed to confront witnesses face to face at his retrial. This result seems particularly just given that the defendant was deprived of a fundamental constitutional guarantee at his first trial.\[e.s.]
