Oral Argument

Highlight
Because of the importance of an accused's confrontation rights, the safeguards built into N.D.R.Ev. 803(24), allowing admission in evidence of a child's hearsay statements about sexual abuse, must be strictly observed.
When there is a total lack of factual support for admission of a child's hearsay statements under N.D.R.Ev. 803(24) and a probability that the erroneous admission of the hearsay statements affected the outcome of the trial, admission of the statements is obvious error entitling the defendant to a new trial.
