Stokes, 2020 Pa. Super. Unpub. LEXIS 915, *4 (Pa. Super. Ct. March 16, 2020), a prosecution witness appeared at a preliminary hearing and testified.\u00a0 At some time after the hearing, the witness\u2019 hospital records were obtained, and those records contained a version of the events different from the prior testimony.\u00a0 By the time of trial the witness could not be located and became unavailable. \u00a0The preliminary hearing testimony was read into the record, followed by a stipulation including the different version told at the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>On appeal, Stokes claimed his right of Confrontation was violated.\u00a0 The Superior Court conflated two tests \u2013 the 6<sup>th<\/sup> Amendment test there being a meaningful opportunity for cross-examination; and a separate test derived from a Pennsylvania Supreme Court holding that<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">where as here, the Commonwealth knows, but does not disclose to the defense at any time prior to preliminary hearing cross-examination of a witness, that the witness has made an inconsistent prior statement and that witness then becomes unavailable to testify at trial, the Commonwealth must suffer the consequences in electing not to disclose that information which is necessary to afford defense counsel the opportunity for a full and fair cross-examination.<\/p>\n<p><u>Commonwealth v. Bazemore<\/u>, 531 Pa. 582, 590, 614 A.2d 684, 688 (Pa. 1992).<\/p>\n<p>The Superior Court in <em>Stokes<\/em> applied a limitation found in <em>Bazemore<\/em> \u2013 that the document had to already be in the prosecution\u2019s possession.\u00a0 \u201cWhere, as here, the Commonwealth did not know of or possess Darby&#8217;s prior inconsistent statement at the preliminary hearing, the Commonwealth did not deny Stokes access to that statement.\u201d \u00a0\u00a02020 Pa. Super. Unpub. LEXIS 915, *7 \u00a0\u00a0For the Superior Court, this \u2018state action\u2019 prerequisite from <em>Bazemore<\/em> became the constitutional test.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing in <em>Crawford<\/em> or its predecessor case <em>Owens<\/em> suggests such a limitation, so to that extent the <em>Stokes<\/em> decision seems problematic.\u00a0 But there is an issue separate from the constitutional right-to-cross-examine claim Mr. Stokes pursued \u2013 and that is effective advocacy in such a case.\u00a0 That comes down to the application of Rule 806.<\/p>\n<p>For both federal trials and those in Pennsylvania, the Rule is the same \u2013 where hearsay of an absent declarant is introduced, all impeachment material that would be allowed on cross-examination may be introduced extrinsically.\u00a0 In the language of the Federal Rule,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">the declarant\u2019s credibility may be attacked, and then supported, by any evidence that would be admissible for those purposes if the declarant had testified as a witness. The court may admit evidence of the declarant\u2019s inconsistent statement or conduct, regardless of when it occurred or whether the declarant had an opportunity to explain or deny it.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, Mr. Stokes had the right to use the hospital report to \u2018impeach\u2019 the absent witness.\u00a0 And the witness\u2019s criminal record, if any; bad character; impairment; bias; and any other material a court would deem relevant to assessing credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the more that such impeachment occurs, any Confrontation error arising from permitting the preliminary hearing testimony to be presented pales, as such errors are assessed under a harmless error standard.\u00a0 But unless one believes that the only way to search for the truth (or search for the favorable verdict) is by live cross-examination, impeaching a witness who can\u2019t argue back or explain away the problems may be the more effective courtroom tool.<\/p>\n<p>The conventional approach may be to demand face-to-face questioning; but this convention may lead to a less successful attack.\u00a0 Know the law; and fight for the rights your client has; but don\u2019t forget the power of poking holes in the absent witness\u2019 testimony in a way that can\u2019t be easily refuted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The landmark holding Crawford v.
