• Coach Transcends Duty's Call -- Cordova's Wood Helps See Athletes Through Hard Times

The term "coach" is defined by Webster's dictionary as one who trains athletes or athletic teams; a tutor who provides private instruction and prepares one for an examination. By definition then, Cordova cross country and track and field coach Jason Wood's duties have far transcended that of "coach" when it comes to the student-athletes he's mentored over the past five seasons at Cordova.

• The Framers' Sixth Amendment Prescriptions: Cross-Examination and Counsel of Choice

In order to find that a statement possessed particularized guarantees of trustworthiness, a court could consider nonexclusive factors including spontaneity and consistent repetition, mental state of the declarant, use of terminology unexpected of a child of similar age, lack of motive to fabricate, use of open-ended, non-leading questions, repeated emphasis on truthfulness, and declarations against the declarant's interest.15 Importantly, a court was limited to the circumstances surrounding the making of the statement when analyzing its reliability.16 Extrinsic evidence was not permitted.17 Crawford changed the analysis by describing two distinct categories of hearsay statements, testimonial and nontestinonial.18 Crawford holds that testimonial hearsay cannot be admitted unless the decl...

• State v. Diggle, (Ohio 2012)

Trial court did not err by imposing separate sentences for appellant-defendant’s aggravated robbery and murder offenses where the two offenses were committed with a separate animus and not allied offenses of similar import. Trial court did not err by admitting the victim’s nontestimonial statements. Trial counsel was not ineffective when trial counsel admitted testimony that had been excluded in the trial court’s judgment on appellant-defendant’s motion in limine, but the admitted evidence did not prejudice the appellant-defendant.
