State v. Doogs
| WD-15-073, WD-16-027 | Admission of a statement of a deceased declarant does not violate the Confrontation Clause where the statement is not testimonial in nature.

Trial court did not err denying postconviction relief without hearing where appellant did not demonstrate prejudice from counsel's allegedly unreasonable representation. | Pietrykowski | Wood |
