JohnRforfeiture by wrongdoing in a DV case?
Hey, I'm looking for anyone who has successfully admitted
Crawford-type statements in a DV case using the forfeiture by wrongdoing theory. Doesn't matter if it was a not guilty verdict. Doesn't matter if it is pre or post
Giles. I'm just looking for a record to use for a training. 972-548-4323 jrolater at co dot collin dot tx dot us

JBWe've got a good jail phone call in which the defendant is explaining to the victim that failure to appear on a subpoena only results in a fine, which he was willing to pay.

JohnRThanks for the recorded call. I may use that. I'm really interested in getting a trial record where something like this was litigated.

JohnRI was hoping for a misdemeanor DV case because I'm looking for a short record. I have some feelers out on a couple cases, how 'bout I follow up with you if those don't work out?
