082034P.pdf 04/15/2009 Omar Yanez v. State of Minnesota
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-2034
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Benton,
Circuit Judge]
Prisoner case - habeas. State courts did not unreasonably apply clearly
established Supreme Court precedent in ruling that admission of victim's
out-of-court testimonial statements did not violate Yanez's Sixth
Amendment rights, as the victim appeared at trial, testified and was
subject to cross-examination; the victim's inability to remember the
details of her prior statements did not render admission of the statements
constitutionally defective.
