  • ruling that court may rely on a juror’s assurance of impartiality if the court finds the juror credible
  • holding that statements made in “casual conversations” on prison telephone calls were not testimonial and their admission did not violate Confrontation Clause
  • observing that “any incriminating statement made during these conversations tended to also incriminate” the declarants themselves, belying any purported “testimonial” purpose
  • noting that the court may rely on a juror's assurance of continued impartiality if the court finds it credible
