Ohio v. Roberts red
scotus · 1980
2 sentences

2022When Crawford overruled Roberts, it put Craig's reliability focused rule into serious doubt. 7 Whether Craig continues to have any precedential value was well articulated by Judge Sutton in his concurring opinion in United States v. Cox: Consider how they treated another decision of the Court: Ohio v. Roberts, 448 U.S. 56 , 100 S.Ct. 2531 , 65 L.Ed.2d 597 (1980).

2021Although a state statute permitted the use of such physical barriers based on a legislative determination that it was necessary to protect abuse victims from trauma, the Court held that “something more than the type of generalized finding underlying such a statute is needed” – namely, 4 Craig’s analysis was based in part on Ohio v. Roberts, 448 U.S. 56 (1980).
