Question 2
Did the introduction of unconfronted statements by Beverly Guenther violate McLaughlin's Confrontation Clause rights?
Scott McLaughlin was convicted of murder in the first degree and the rape of Beverly Guenther. They cohabited from 2002 to 2003, and had a stormy relationship marked by breakups and restraining orders obtained by Beverly. After the break up, Scott was convicted of burglarizing Beverly's apartment, although he claimed he was just trying to remove his belongings. In the guilt and penalty phases of the trial, police officers were allowed to testify about aspects of this relationship, including hearsay statements of Beverly Guenther, relating to incidents when officers escorted Beverly from her office to her car and, at her request, followed her several miles from work until she reached the highway; to McLaughlin's harassing and threatening conduct toward Beverly at her work; and to the burglary.
