2005Although the United States courts of appeals have struggled with the definition of “testimonial hearsay” following the decision in Crawford, United States v Hendricks, 395 F3d 173, 180 (CA 3, 2005), their holdings leave no doubt that the expansive view of testimonial hearsay adopted in Cromer is not universal.

1988"Where fundamental claims of religious freedom are at stake, however, we cannot accept such a sweeping claim; despite its admitted validity in the generality of cases, we must searchingly examine the interests that the State seeks to promote . . . and the impediment to those objectives that would flow from recognizing the claimed Amish exemption.” Yoder , p 221.

1993The United States Supreme Court explained: Thus, a State’s interest in universal education, however highly we rank it, is not totally free from a balancing process when it impinges on fundamental rights and interests, such as those specifically protected by the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, and the traditional interest of parents with respect to the religious upbringing of their children so long as they, in the words of Pierce [supra at 535 ], "prepare [them] for additional obligations.” [Yoder, supra at 214 .] Although the state asserts that "its interest in its system of compu

1970The Court held the introduction of the evidence illegally seized in 1950 for impeachment permissible because (at p 65 [ 74 S Ct at p 356 ; 98 L Ed at p 507 ]) “defendant went *610 beyond a mere denial of complicity in the crimes * * * and made the sweeping claim that he had never dealt in or possessed any narcotics.” There is, however, a serious question as to whether Walder is still good law, 12 or whether the reasoning it was based on is still tenable.
