If you were a defendant wouldn't you want that cross examination to be in front of a jury? You've just been denied that right.
You don't have a right to cross-examination in front of a jury. You have a right to a jury and a right to cross-examination. It's not ideal, but no rights are being violated.

Just another example of the government trying to create a loop hole in an iron clad right.
If the confrontation clause was an iron clad right for which there can be no exceptions then a murder defendant could just kill the government's star witness and evade justice. But there are obvious exceptions carved out to prevent that scenario from happening. These are not broad exceptions. There's no conspiracy here.

You have the right to confront your accuser. Is that correct? If thats not what it says in the 6th amendment let's just all go home.
I could careless about Miles. I just dislike to see bullshite when it comes the constitution. It's there now let's find a way around it. We'll it doesn't say this or that let's make an exception to void it. Which is what exceptions do.
What's to keep the prosecution from having someone make a statement then disappear? If it works one way it works the other. You can't say that the defense will do this and say the prosecution won't. The 6th is supposed to protect our rights.
Imo his testimony isn't that damning but it is testimony that Miles defensive attorneys should be allowed to cross examine in front of a jury that is going to deem him guilty or not guilty.
