033252P.pdf   03/14/2005  Jeffrey R. Ferguson  v.  Donald P. Roper
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3252
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Prisoner case - habeas. Ferguson could not state an Arizona v. 
   Youngblood claim for a videotape which was destroyed long after his 
   trial as that case stated the applicable constitutional principle when 
   potentially useful evidence is lost or destroyed before trial; co- 
   conspirator's statements are nontestimonial and their admission did not 
   violate the rule announced in Crawford v. Washington concerning 
   admission of testimonial hearsay.
