Abstract

The article focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court case Smith v. Arizona, which addresses the admissibility of forensic toxicology testimony when a chemist who did not perform the tests presents the results, raising issues under the Confrontation Clause. Topics include the use of substitute analysts in court, determining hearsay and testimonial statements, and the implications of the ruling for defendants' rights to confront witnesses.
