2016The Minnesota Supreme Court recognized in State v. Brist that courts are required “to conduct a separate Confrontation Clause analysis for out-of-court ‘testimonial’ statements, even when the statements at issue otherwise satisfy a firmly- rooted hearsay exception.” 812 N.W.2d 51, 56 (Minn. 2012).4 Applying the Davis factors to this case, J.C.-L.’s statements to Detective Parranto in the ambulance were nontestimonial, and therefore admissible at trial.

2008Prior to the Supreme Court's decision in Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 , 124 S.Ct. 1354 , 158 L.Ed.2d 177 , the admissibility of a statement by an unavailable hearsay declarant satisfied the Confrontation Clause if the statement bore "adequate `indicia of reliability,'" and an out-of-court statement was deemed sufficiently reliable if it fell "within a firmly rooted hearsay exception" or bore "particularized guarantees of trustworthiness." Ohio v. Roberts, 448 U.S. 56, 66 , 100 S.Ct. 2531 , 65 L.Ed.2d 597 (1980).

Roberts, 448 U.S. 56, 66 [ 100 S.Ct. 2531 , 65 L.Ed.2d 597 ] (1980), the case that Crawford overruled.

1993The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment provides: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right * * * to be confronted with the witnesses against him.” Statements that do not fall within a firmly rooted hearsay exception are “presumptively unreliable and inadmissible for Confrontation Clause purposes.” Idaho v.
