Report from the Court: DC Court of Appeals
2/22/2024
On February 6, 11th and 12th graders in Ginger's Constitutional Law class observed oral arguments in a 6th amendment case before the
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
. Judge
Catharine F. Easterly
P'24 and her law clerks met with the class before proceedings to share their journeys to the DCCA and explain the nature of the case.
According to Judge Easterly, "the legal questions on appeal are constitutional (6th Amendment right to confrontation) and evidentiary (hearsay): they revolve around whether the complainant's call to 911 reporting the crime could be admitted into evidence at trial when she didn't appear as a witness." Students found the oral argument fascinating: is a 911 call by a now-deceased individual "admissible" as evidence? What is an "excited utterance?" Was this an "ongoing emergency?" A judgment in
Austin v. U.S.
is expected sometime in summer 2024.
