  • holding witness testimony relaying a co-conspirator's account implicating the defendant did not violate the defendant's confrontation rights because the account \clearly was made outside of an investigatory or judicial context\ and therefore was not testimonial

  • stating the proponent of evidence has the burden of establishing that a record falls within a hearsay exception
  • noting the declarant’s statement about a shooting was not admissible as a present sense impression because there was no evidence the declarant saw the shooting
